commit 4f6626b0e140867fd6d5a2e9d4ceaef97f10f46a upstream.
This reverts commit 410bd754cd73c4a2ac3856d9a03d7b08f9c906bf.
The reverted commit had added a retry mechanism to the command entry index allocation. The previous patch ensures that there is a free command entry index once the command work handler holds the command semaphore. Thus the retry mechanism is not needed.
