target: use a workqueue for I/O completions
Instead of abusing the target processing thread for offloading I/O
completion in the backends to user context add a new workqueue. This means
completions can be processed as fast as available CPU time allows it,
including in parallel with other completions and more importantly I/O
submission or QUEUE FULL retries. This should give much better performance
especially on loaded systems.
As a fallout we can merge all the completed states into a single
one.
On the downside this change complicates lun reset handling a bit by
requiring us to cancel a work item only for those states that have it
initialized. The alternative would be to either always initialize the work
item to a dummy handler, or always use the same handler and do a switch on
the state. The long term solution will be a flag that says that the command
has an initialized work item, but that's only going to be useful once we
have more users.
