This is a fix for another fallout of the block layer conversion (sorry
again).
This should be go into 2.6.28.y and 2.6.29.y.
However, this should go with patches that I sent for 2.6.29.1 and
were dropped. So I don't use 'stable@xxxxxxxxxx' tag.

Subject: [PATCH] [PATCH] sg: fix q->queue_lock on scsi_error_handler path
sg_rq_end_io() is called via rq->end_io. In some rare cases,
sg_rq_end_io calls blk_put_request/blk_rq_unmap_user (when a program
issuing a command has gone before the command completion; e.g. by
interrupting a program issuing a command before the command
completes).
We can't call blk_put_request/blk_rq_unmap_user in interrupt so the
commit c96952ed7031e7c576ecf90cf95b8ec099d5295a uses
execute_in_process_context().
The problem is that scsi_error_handler() calls rq->end_io too. We
can't call blk_put_request/blk_rq_unmap_user too in this path (we hold
q->queue_lock).
To avoid the above problem, in these rare cases, this patch always
uses schedule_work() instead of execute_in_process_context().
