[SCSI] libfc, fcoe: fixed locking issues with lport->lp_mutex around lport->link_status
The fcoe_xmit could call fc_pause in case the pending skb queue len is larger than FCOE_MAX_QUEUE_DEPTH, the fc_pause was trying to grab lport->lp_muex to change lport->link_status and that had these issues :- 1. The fcoe_xmit was getting called with bh disabled, thus causing "BUG: scheduling while atomic" when grabbing lport->lp_muex with bh disabled. 2. fc_linkup and fc_linkdown function calls lport_enter function with lport->lp_mutex held and these enter function in turn calls fcoe_xmit to send lport related FC frame, e.g. fc_linkup => fc_lport_enter_flogi to send flogi req. In this case grabbing the same lport->lp_mutex again in fc_puase from fcoe_xmit would cause deadlock. The lport->lp_mutex was used for setting FC_PAUSE in fcoe_xmit path but FC_PAUSE bit was not used anywhere beside just setting and clear this bit in lport->link_status, instead used a separate field qfull in fc_lport to eliminate need for lport->lp_mutex to track pending queue full condition and in turn avoid above described two locking issues. Also added check for lp->qfull in fc_fcp_lport_queue_ready to trigger SCSI_MLQUEUE_HOST_BUSY when lp->qfull is set to prevent more scsi-ml cmds while lp->qfull is set. This patch eliminated FC_LINK_UP and FC_PAUSE and instead used dedicated fields in fc_lport for this, this simplified all related conditional code. Also removed fc_pause and fc_unpause functions and instead used newly added lport->qfull directly in fcoe.
