[SCSI] Convert SCSI mid-layer to scsi_execute_async

Add scsi helpers to create really-large-requests and convert
scsi-ml to scsi_execute_async().

Per Jens's previous comments, I placed this function in scsi_lib.c.
I made it follow all the queue's limits - I think I did at least :), so
I removed the warning on the function header.

I think the scsi_execute_* functions should eventually take a request_queue
and be placed some place where the dm-multipath hw_handler can use them
if that failover code is going to stay in the kernel. That conversion
patch will be sent in another mail though.
