May be I missing something, but why bother with bottom half version of
locking?

There are few places where this lock could be accessed:

 (1) From ->queue_rq() call;
 (2) From submitting new AEN request;
 (3) From receiving new R2T;

Which one if these originates from bottom half? Not 100% about queue_rq
data path, but (2) and (3) looks perfectly safe for me.

Possibly just a relic of some previous iterations of experimenting?
