Apparently scsi_target wasn't fully tested when the CAM locking went in.
 It was written before there was a design for CAM locking so it may need
some reworking.  For example, it assumes that it should acquire/drop
locks multiple times in its start method if there are multiple CCBs
queued.  That may not be the fastest way, depending on contention for
the SIM lock.
