[PATCH 10/11] hisi_sas: use atomic64_t for hisi_sas_device.running_req

Sometimes the value of hisi_sas_device.running_req would go negative unless we have the check for running_req >= 0 before trying to decrement. This is because using running_req is not thread-safe. As such, the value for running_req may be actually incorrect, so use atomic64_t instead. Signed-off
