Description

scsi: core: ufs: Fix a hang in the error handler

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

scsi: core: ufs: Fix a hang in the error handler

ufshcd_err_handling_prepare() calls ufshcd_rpm_get_sync(). The latter

function can only succeed if UFSHCD_EH_IN_PROGRESS is not set because

resuming involves submitting a SCSI command and ufshcd_queuecommand()

returns SCSI_MLQUEUE_HOST_BUSY if UFSHCD_EH_IN_PROGRESS is set. Fix this

hang by setting UFSHCD_EH_IN_PROGRESS after ufshcd_rpm_get_sync() has

been called instead of before.
