scsi: pm8001: Fix running_req for internal abort commands

Disabling the remote phy for a SATA disk causes a hang:

root@(none)$ more /sys/class/sas_phy/phy-0:0:8/target_port_protocols

sata

root@(none)$ echo 0 > sys/class/sas_phy/phy-0:0:8/enable

The issue is that the per-device running_req read in

pm8001_dev_gone_notify() never goes to zero and we never make progress.

This is caused by missing accounting for running_req for when an internal

abort command completes.

In commit 2cbbf489778e ("scsi: pm8001: Use libsas internal abort support")

we started to send internal abort commands as a proper sas_task. In this

when we deliver a sas_task to HW the per-device running_req is incremented

in pm8001_queue_command(). However it is never decremented for internal

abort commnds, so decrement in pm8001_mpi_task_abort_resp().
