As I can see, this panic() call was added by ken@ about 15 years ago.
I've added him to CC in case he has some idea why it was done. From my
personal opinion I don't see much reasons to allow CAM_DEV_QFRZN to be
returned only together with error. While is may have little sense in
case of successful command completion, I don't think it should be
treated as error. Simply removing this panic is probably a bad idea,
since if it happens device will just remain frozen forever, that will be
will be difficult to diagnose, but I would better just dropped device
freeze in that case same as in case of completion with error.
