Bart,

After adding spin_lock/unlock_irqsave()
in ufshcd_vops_setup_xfer_req(), there will be 4 times of call of
host_lock lock/unlock in ufshcd_send_command(). Reduce the code scope
of protection, but increase the number of calls to
spin_lock/unlock_irqsave(). Almost each sub-funciton
in ufshcd_send_command() calls spin_lock/unlock_irqsave(). why not
directly take spin_lock/unlock_irqsave() away from each sub-fun, and
increase the scope in ufshcd_send_command()?
