    [SCSI] add refcouting around ctask usage in main IO patch · 60ecebf5

    It is possible that a ctask could be completing and getting
    cleaned up at the same time, we are finishing up the last
    data transfer. This could then result in the data transfer
    code using stale or invalid values. This patch adds a refcount
    to the ctask. When the count goes to zero then we know the
    transmit thread and recv thread or softirq are not touching
    it and we can safely release it.
    
    The eh should not need to grab a reference because it only cleans
    up a task if it has both the xmit mutex and recv lock (or recv
    side suspended).
