xpt_done() and Giant?

I'm currently trying to debug ATAPI/CAM issues with a particular ATA
controller (kern/103602). Over the course of investigating this PR,
the user reported the following crash when enabling CAMDEBUG:

Tracing pid 16 tid 100014 td 0xc5106bd0

It looks to me like we're calling xpt_done() without holding Giant,
which should work AFAICT, except that when enabling CAMDEBUG, xpt_done
calls xpt_path_comp, which still has a GIANT_REQUIRED assertion, hence
the failure above.

So, should we maybe grab Giant in CAM_DEBUG?
