Commit 6600593c ("block: rename BLK_EH_NOT_HANDLED to BLK_EH_DONE")
made it impossible for .eh_timed_out() implementations to call
scsi_done() without causing a crash.

Restore support for SCSI timeout handlers to call scsi_done() as follows:

 * Change all .eh_timed_out() handlers as follows:

   - Change the return type into enum scsi_timeout_action.
   - Change BLK_EH_RESET_TIMER into SCSI_EH_RESET_TIMER.
   - Change BLK_EH_DONE into SCSI_EH_NOT_HANDLED.

 * In scsi_timeout(), convert the SCSI_EH_* values into BLK_EH_* values.

UFS storage devices require bRefClkFreq attribute to be set to operate
correctly at high speed mode. The necessary value is determined by what the
SoC / board supports. The standard doesn't specify a method to query the
value, so the information needs to be fed in separately.

DT information feeds into setting up the clock framework, so platforms
using DT can get the UFS reference clock frequency from the clock
framework. A special node "ref_clk" from the clock array for the UFS
controller node is used as the source for the information.

On the platforms that do not use DT (e.g. Intel), the alternative mechanism
to feed the intended reference clock frequency is necessary. Specifying the
necessary information in DSD of the UFS controller ACPI node is an
alternative mechanism proposed in this patch. Those can be accessed via
firmware property facility in the kernel and in many ways simillar to
querying properties defined in DT.

This patch introduces a small helper function to query a predetermined ACPI
supplied property of the UFS controller, and uses it to attempt retrieving
reference clock value, unless that was already done by the clock
infrastructure.

The SCSI core code does not currently support reserved commands. As such,
requests which time-out would never be reserved, and scsi_timeout()
'reserved' arg should never be set.

Remove handling for reserved requests, drop the wrapper scsi_timeout()
as it now just calls scsi_times_out() always, and finally rename
scsi_times_out() -> scsi_timeout() to match the blk_mq_ops method name.

sas_alloc_event() uses in_interrupt() to decide which allocation should be
used.

The usage of in_interrupt() in drivers is phased out and Linus clearly
requested that code which changes behaviour depending on context should
either be separated or the context be conveyed in an argument passed by the
caller, which usually knows the context.

The in_interrupt() check is also only partially correct, because it fails
to choose the correct code path when just preemption or interrupts are
disabled. For example, as in the following call chain:

  mvsas/mv_sas.c: mvs_work_queue() [process context]
  spin_lock_irqsave(mvs_info::lock, )
    -> libsas/sas_event.c: sas_notify_phy_event()
      -> sas_alloc_event()
        -> in_interrupt() = false
          -> invalid GFP_KERNEL allocation
    -> libsas/sas_event.c: sas_notify_port_event()
      -> sas_alloc_event()
        -> in_interrupt() = false
          -> invalid GFP_KERNEL allocation

Introduce sas_alloc_event_gfp(), sas_notify_port_event_gfp(), and
sas_notify_phy_event_gfp(), which all behave like the non _gfp() variants
but use a caller-passed GFP mask for allocations.

For bisectability, all callers will be modified first to pass GFP context,
then the non _gfp() libsas API variants will be modified to take a gfp_t by
default.

LLDDs report events to libsas with .notify_port_event and .notify_phy_event
callbacks.

These callbacks are fixed and so there is no reason why the functions
cannot be called directly, so do that.

This neatens the code slightly, makes it more obvious, and reduces function
pointer usage, which is generally a good thing. Downside is that there are
2x more symbol exports.

The gdth driver refers to a SCSI parallel, PCI-only HBA RAID adapter which
was manufactured by the now-defunct ICP Vortex company, later acquired by
Adaptec and superseded by the aacraid series of controllers.  The driver
itself would require a major overhaul before any modifications can be
attempted, but seeing that it's unlikely to have any users left it should
rather be removed completely.
