scsi: hisi_sas: check host frozen before calling "done" function

Browse source 
When the host is frozen in SCSI EH state, at any point after the LLDD
sets SAS_TASK_STATE_DONE for the sas_task task state, libsas may free
the task; see sas_scsi_find_task().

This puts the LLDD in a difficult position, in that once it sets
SAS_TASK_STATE_DONE for the task state it should not reference the
sas_task again. But the LLDD needs will check the sas_task indirectly in
calling task->task_done()->sas_scsi_task_done() or sas_ata_task_done()
(to check if the host is frozen state actually).

And the LLDD cannot set SAS_TASK_STATE_DONE for the task state after
task->task_done() is called (as the sas_task is free'd at this point).

This situation would seem to be a problem made by libsas.

To work around, check in the LLDD whether the host is in frozen state to
ensure it is ok to call task->task_done() function. If in the frozen
state, we rely on SCSI EH and libsas to free the sas_task directly.

We do not do this for the following IO types:

 - SMP - they are managed in libsas directly, outside SCSI EH
 - Any internally originated IO, for similar reason
