It busy loops but it won't lock up as command completion is the loop
breaker and command completion comes via IRQ and the busy looping
doesn't happen solely in the IRQ context.  Still needs to be fixed tho.
 Anyways, this is only limited to ->qc_defer for simplex and the reason
why there's busy loop is because we're trying to schedule two
independent hosts and SCSI midlayer (of course) doesn't have the notion
of cross host deferring.

Thanks.
