3.16.70-rc1 review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

commit 32e36bfbcf31452a854263e7c7f32fbefc4b44d8 upstream.
When using SCSI passthrough in combination with the iSCSI target driver then cmd->t_state_lock may be obtained from interrupt context. Hence, all code that obtains cmd->t_state_lock from thread context must disable interrupts first. This patch avoids that lockdep reports the following:
