By setting the request_limit in send_srp_login to 1 we allowed login
requests to be sent to the server adapter. If this was not an initial
login, but was a login after a disconnect with the server, other I/O
requests could attempt to be processed before the login occured. These
I/O requests would fail, sometimes resulting in filesystems getting
marked read-only.
To address this we can set the request_limit to 0 while doing the login
and add an exception where login requests, along with task management
events, are always passed to the server.
There is a case where the request_limit had already reached 0 would result
in all events being sent rather than returning SCSI_MLQUEUE_HOST_BUSY; this
has also been fixed by this patch.
