Bodo Stroesser ed212ca878 scsi: target: tcmu: Fix and simplify timeout handling
During cmd timeout handling in check_timedout_devices(), due to a race, it
can happen that tcmu_set_next_deadline() does not start a timer as
expected:

 1) Either tcmu_check_expired_ring_cmd() checks the inflight_queue or
    tcmu_check_expired_queue_cmd() checks the qfull_queue while jiffies has
    the value X

 2) At the end of the check the queue contains one remaining command with
    deadline X (time_after(X, X) is false and thus the command is not
    handled as being timed out).

 3) After tcmu_check_expired_xxxxx_cmd() a timer interrupt happens and
    jiffies is incremented to X+1.

 4) Now tcmu_set_next_deadline() is called, but it skips the command, since
    time_after(X+1, X) is true. Therefore tcmu_set_next_deadline() finds no
    new deadline and stops the timer, which it shouldn't.

Since commands that time out are removed from inflight_queue or
qfull_queue, we don't need the check with time_after() in
tcmu_set_next_deadline() but can use the deadline from the first cmd in
the queue.

Additionally, replace the remaining time_after() calls in
tcmu_check_expired_xxxxx_cmd() with time_after_eq(), because it is not
useful to set the timeout to deadline but then check for jiffies being
greater than deadline.

Simplify the end of tcmu_handle_completions() and change the check for no
more pending commands from

	mb->cmd_tail == mb->cmd_head
to

	idr_is_empty(&udev->commands)

because the old check doesn't work correctly if paddings or in the future
TMRs are in the ring.

Finally tcmu_set_next_deadline() was shifted in the source as
preparation for later implementation of tmr_notify callback.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
