The SCSI midlayer already does a scsi_print_command, under
the MLCOMPLETE logging level.  Printing the command in
the LLD is redundant; Printing the scmd pointer was not,
as it matched the prints in the SCSI midlayer, letting
you find all the messages for a command.

In Hannes' logging patch series, Christoph Hellwig suggested
printing the block layer tag instead of the scmd pointer.
If UAS uses that tag directly, then the uas_get_tag() print
already does that.  If they're not identical (looks like 
they differ by 2), then you might want to print both.

More general comment: 
scsi-mq stress testing has shown that calling printk
on each command with an error is problematic.  If the
system runs into hundreds or thousands of errors, the
printks take so long they induce more timeouts and errors.  

As discussed in the threads by Yoshihiro YUNOMAE and Hannes
Reinecke, you might want to:
* tuck the scmd_printk inside SCSI_LOG_LLCOMPLETE so
the user can control the verbosity
* use a _ratelimited version of each print
* plan to add and eventually switch to tracepoints, so
logging doesn't have performance impacts
