scsi: scsi_debug: Fix scp is NULL errors

Browse Source 
John Garry reported 'sdebug_q_cmd_complete: scp is NULL' failures that were
mainly seen on aarch64 machines (e.g. RPi 4 with four A72 CPUs). The
problem was tracked down to a missing critical section on a "short circuit"
path. Namely, the time to process the current command so far has already
exceeded the requested command duration (i.e. the number of nanoseconds in
the ndelay parameter).

The random=1 parameter setting was pivotal in finding this error.  The
failure scenario involved first taking that "short circuit" path (due to a
very short command duration) and then taking the more likely
hrtimer_start() path (due to a longer command duration). With random=1 each
command's duration is taken from the uniformly distributed [0..ndelay)
interval.  The fio utility also helped by reliably generating the error
scenario at about once per minute on a RPi 4 (64 bit OS).
