vt6420 has the same FIFO overflow problem as vt6421 when combined with
certain devices.  This patch applies the magic fix to vt6420 too.

<title>[libata] remove SCSI host lock and serial number usage from ata_scsi_queuecmd</title>

cmd-&gt;serial_number is never tested in any path we reach; therefore we may
remove the call to scsi_cmd_get_serial() inside DEF_SCSI_QCMD, the SCSI
host_lock acquisition surrounding it, and our own SCSI host_lock
unlock+relock cycle.

<content type='text'>
Move the mid-layer's -&gt;queuecommand() invocation from being locked
with the host lock to being unlocked to facilitate speeding up the
critical path for drivers who don't need this lock taken anyway.

The patch below presents a simple SCSI host lock push-down as an
equivalent transformation.  No locking or other behavior should change
with this patch.  All existing bugs and locking orders are preserved.

Additionally, add one parameter to queuecommand,
	struct Scsi_Host *
and remove one parameter from queuecommand,
	void (*done)(struct scsi_cmnd *)

Scsi_Host* is a convenient pointer that most host drivers need anyway,
and 'done' is redundant to struct scsi_cmnd-&gt;scsi_done.

Minimal code disturbance was attempted with this change.  Most drivers
needed only two one-line modifications for their host lock push-down.

SCSI commands may be issued between __scsi_add_device() and dev-&gt;sdev
assignment, so it's unsafe for ata_qc_complete() to dereference
dev-&gt;sdev-&gt;locked without checking whether it's NULL or not.  Fix it.

The creation of the I/O clock domain requires some adjustments.  Since the
CF bus timing logic is clocked by the I/O clock, use its rate for delay
calculations.
