Mike Christie 760bf578ed target: fix race during implicit transition work flushes
This fixes the following races:

1. core_alua_do_transition_tg_pt could have read
tg_pt_gp_alua_access_state and gone into this if chunk:

if (!explicit &&
        atomic_read(&tg_pt_gp->tg_pt_gp_alua_access_state) ==
           ALUA_ACCESS_STATE_TRANSITION) {

and then core_alua_do_transition_tg_pt_work could update the
state. core_alua_do_transition_tg_pt would then only set
tg_pt_gp_alua_pending_state and the tg_pt_gp_alua_access_state would
not get updated with the second calls state.

2. core_alua_do_transition_tg_pt could be setting
tg_pt_gp_transition_complete while the tg_pt_gp_transition_work
is already completing. core_alua_do_transition_tg_pt then waits on the
completion that will never be called.

To handle these issues, we just call flush_work which will return when
core_alua_do_transition_tg_pt_work has completed so there is no need
to do the complete/wait. And, if core_alua_do_transition_tg_pt_work
was running, instead of trying to sneak in the state change, we just
schedule up another core_alua_do_transition_tg_pt_work call.

Note that this does not handle a possible race where there are multiple
threads call core_alua_do_transition_tg_pt at the same time. I think
we need a mutex in target_tg_pt_gp_alua_access_state_store.
