This is some kind of race in the SCSI layer that is not present in 2.0.
Somehow it queued too many commands to that controller. It looks like
scsi_do_cmd() got called twice for the device. The obvious path for that
is scsi_do_cmd being called from an interrupt. I can't however see where
this is occuring.

Does editing drivers/scsi/fdomain.h and changing

can_queue: 1, \

to

can_queue: 0, \

fix this.
