Pulled out going to sleep in the queuecommand path.

This was the optimization to avoid the MMIO for both threads. The other thread that raced should do the atomic set of afu->room to a positive value.

Same reason as the queuecommand issue above. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-scsi" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
