Mike Christie d19c4643a5 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.
