>Description:
	scsipi_completion_thread() clears SCSIPI_CHANT_GROWRES.
	however, it then calls scsipi_channel_thaw(), which will set
	the flag again.  thus scsipi_completion_thread() loops busily
	while SCSIPI_CHANT_GROWRES is set, ie. until
	ADAPTER_REQ_GROW_RESOURCES succeeds.

	because ADAPTER_REQ_GROW_RESOURCES is usually implemented
	using NOWAIT allocations, it never succeeds if there's
	no enough memory.  if it was triggered by pageout requests,
	it deadlocks.

>How-To-Repeat:
	
>Fix:
	- don't freeze the channel even if ADAPTER_REQ_GROW_RESOURCES failed.
	- don't try ADAPTER_REQ_GROW_RESOURCES too frequently.
