ncr5380: Fix autosense bugs



NCR5380_information_transfer() may re-queue a command for autosense,
after calling scsi_eh_prep_cmnd(). This creates several possibilities:

1. Reselection may intervene before the re-queued command gets processed.
   If the reconnected command then undergoes autosense, this causes the
   scsi_eh_save data from the previous command to be overwritten.

2. After NCR5380_information_transfer() calls scsi_eh_prep_cmnd(),
   a new REQUEST SENSE command may arrive. This would be queued ahead
   of any command already undergoing autosense, which means the
   scsi_eh_save data might be restored to the wrong command.

3. After NCR5380_information_transfer() calls scsi_eh_prep_cmnd(),
   eh_abort_handler() may abort the command. But the scsi_eh_save data is
   not discarded, which means the scsi_eh_save data might be incorrectly
   restored to the next REQUEST SENSE command issued.

This patch adds a new autosense list so that commands that are re-queued
because of a CHECK CONDITION result can be kept apart from the REQUEST
SENSE commands that arrive via queuecommand.

This patch also adds a function dedicated to dequeueing and preparing the
next command for processing. By refactoring the main loop in this way,
scsi_eh_save takes place when an autosense command is dequeued rather
than when re-queued.
