scsi: ufs: Fix broken task management command implementation

Browse source 
Currently, sending Task Management (TM) command to the card might
be broken in some scenarios as listed below:

Problem: If there are more than 8 TM commands the implementation
         returns error to the caller.
Fix:     Wait for one of the slots to be emptied and send the command.

Problem: Sometimes it is necessary for the caller to know the TM service
         response code to determine the task status.
Fix:     Propogate the service response to the caller.

Problem: If the TM command times out no proper error recovery is
         implemented.
Fix:     Clear the command in the controller door-bell register, so that
         further commands for the same slot don't fail.

Problem: While preparing the TM command descriptor, the task tag used
         should be unique across SCSI/NOP/QUERY/TM commands and not the
	 task tag of the command which the TM command is trying to manage.
Fix:     Use a unique task tag instead of task tag of SCSI command.

Problem: Since the TM command involves H/W communication, abruptly ending
         the request on kill interrupt signal might cause h/w malfunction.
Fix:     Wait for hardware completion interrupt with TASK_UNINTERRUPTIBLE
         set.
