PATCH 1/1 isci: Fix a race condition in the SSP task management path

This commit fixes a race condition in the isci driver abort task and SSP device task management path. The race is caused when an I/O termination in the SCU hardware is necessary because of an SSP target timeout condition, and the check of the I/O end state races against the HW-termination-driven end state. The failure of the race meant that no TMF was sent to the device to clean-up the pending I/O.
