The esp_reset_cleanup() function is called with the host lock held and invokes starget_for_each_device() which wants to take it too. Here is a fix along the lines of shost_for_each_device()/__shost_for_each_device() adding a __starget_for_each_device() counterpart which assumes the lock has already been taken. Eventually, I think the driver should get modified so that more work is done as a softirq rather than in the interrupt context, but for now it fixes a bug that causes the spinlock debugger to fire. While at it, it fixes a small number of cosmetic problems with starget_for_each_device() too. Signed-off-by: Maciej W.
