scsi: target: Replace lun_tg_pt_gp_lock with rcu in I/O path

We are only holding the lun_tg_pt_gp_lock in target_alua_state_check() to
make sure tg_pt_gp is not freed from under us while we copy the state,
delay, ID values. We can instead use RCU here to access the tg_pt_gp.

With this patch IOPs can increase up to 10% for jobs like:

  fio  --filename=/dev/sdX  --direct=1 --rw=randrw --bs=4k \
    --ioengine=libaio --iodepth=64  --numjobs=N

when there are multiple sessions (running that fio command to each /dev/sdX
or using multipath and there are over 8 paths), or more than 8 queues for
the loop or vhost with multiple threads case and numjobs > 8.
