target: Fix ALUA transition state race between multiple initiators Multiple threads could be writing to alua_access_state at the same time, or there could be multiple STPGs in flight (different initiators sending them or one initiator sending them to different ports), or a combo of both and the core_alua_do_transition_tg_pt calls will race with each other. Because from the last patches we no longer delay running core_alua_do_transition_tg_pt_work, there does not seem to be any point in running that in a workqueue. And, we always wait for it to complete one way or another, so we can sleep in this code path. So, this patch made over target-pending just adds a mutex and does the work core_alua_do_transition_tg_pt_work was doing in core_alua_do_transition_tg_pt. There is also no need to use an atomic for the tg_pt_gp_alua_access_state. In core_alua_do_transition_tg_pt we will test and set it under the transition mutex. And, it is a int/32 bits so in the other places where it is read, we will never see it partially updated.
