Hi HCH & Co,

Here is RFC code for adding target_core_fabric_ops->complete_irq
bypass that allows fabrics to invoke response callbacks directly
from target_complete_cmd() IRQ context.

It breaks up existing target_complete_ok_work() code into three
pieces:

  - transport_complete_task_attr()
  - target_complete_ok_pre()
  - target_complete_irq()

and allows target_complete_irq() be called directly from IRQ context
if no special case se_cmd handling requirements exist.

The three cases that trigger queue_work() process context are:

  - non GOOD status
  - ORDERED task sync
  - non NULL se_cmd->transport_complete_callback()

It also includes converting target_restart_delayed_cmds() to use
llist_head, and checking within transport_complete_task_attr() to
determine if dev_ordered_sync is non zero, ahead of doing the
llist_del_all() -> cmpxchg of outstanding ordered tags.

This allows loopback LLD code to bypass the extra queue_work, and
invoke it's ->scsi_done() callback directly from IRQ context.

WDYT..?
