  6.6/scsi-queue

The biggest functional change to smartpqi is the addition of an abort
handler. Some customers were complaining about I/O stalls to all
devices when only one device is reset. Adding an abort handler helps
to prevent I/O stalls to all devices.

All of the reset of the patches are small changes to logging messages,
MACRO and variable name changes, and one minor change for LUN
assignments.

This set of changes consists of:

 * smartpqi-add-abort-handler
   When a device reset occurs, the SML pauses I/O to all devices presented
   by a controller instance causing some performance issues.
   To only affect device with a problematic request, we added an abort handler.
   The abort handler is implemented by using a device reset, but I/O to the
   other devices is no longer affected.
 * smartpqi-refactor-rename-MACRO-to-clarify-purpose
   The MACRO SOP_RC_INCORRECT_LOGICAL_UNIT was used to check for a condition
   where a TMF was sent an incorrect LUN. We renamed this MACRO to
   SOP_TMF_INCORRECT_LOGICAL_UNIT for clarity.
 * smartpqi-refactor-rename-pciinfo-to-pci_info
   Change the pciinfo variable to pci_info to make more readable code.
   No functional changes.
 * smartpqi-simplify-lun_number-assignment
   We simplified the conditional expression used to populate LUN numbers
   for requests.
 * smartpqi-enhance-shutdown-notification
   Clarify controller cache flush errors. We added in more precise information
   to the cache flush informational message.
   No functional changes.
 * smartpqi-enhance-controller-offline-notification
   The driver can offline a controller for multiple reasons. We added
   a description of why these rare offline actions are taken. And a function
   to provide the specific details of the shutdown.
 * smartpqi-enhance-error-messages
   We added host🚌target:lun to messages emitted in our reset/abort handlers.
   No functional changes.
 * smartpqi-change-driver-version-to-2.1.24-046
