Subject: scsi: bnx2fc: fix race condition in bnx2fc_get_host_stats()

From: Maurizio Lombardi <mlombard@redhat.com>


[ Upstream commit c2dd893a3b0772d1c680e109b9d5715d7f73022b ]

If multiple tasks attempt to read the stats, it may happen that the
start_req_done completion is re-initialized while still being used by
another task, causing a list corruption.

This patch fixes the bug by adding a mutex to serialize the calls to
bnx2fc_get_host_stats().
