ncr5380: Dont release lock for PIO transfer
The calls to NCR5380_transfer_pio() for DATA IN and DATA OUT phases will modify cmd->SCp.this_residual, cmd->SCp.ptr and cmd->SCp.buffer. That works as long as EH does not intervene, which became possible in atari_NCR5380.c when I changed the locking to bring it closer to NCR5380.c. If error recovery aborts the command, the scsi_cmnd in question and its buffer will be returned to the mid-layer. So the transfer has to cease, but it can't be stopped by the initiator because the target controls the bus phase. The problem does not arise if the lock is not released. That was fine for atari_scsi, because it implements DMA. For the other drivers, we have to release the lock and re-enable interrupts for long PIO data transfers. The solution is to split the transfer into small chunks. In between chunks the main loop releases the lock and re-enables interrupts. Thus interrupts can be serviced and eh_bus_reset_handler can intervene if need be. This fixes an oops in NCR5380_transfer_pio() that can happen when the EH abort handler is invoked during DATA IN or DATA OUT phase.
