[PATCH 2/5] qla2xxx: Test and clear FCPORT_UPDATE_NEEDED atomically.

[Saurav Kashyap <saurav.kashyap@qlogic.com>]

From: David Jeffery <djeffery@redhat.com>

When the qla2xxx driver loses access to multiple, remote ports, there is a race
condition which can occur which will keep the request stuck on a scsi request
queue indefinitely.

This bad state occurred do to a race condition with how the FCPORT_UPDATE_NEEDED
bit is set in qla2x00_schedule_rport_del(), and how it is cleared in
qla2x00_do_dpc().  The problem port has its drport pointer set, but it has never
been processed by the driver to inform the fc transport that the port has been
lost.  qla2x00_schedule_rport_del() sets drport, and then sets the
FCPORT_UPDATE_NEEDED bit.  In qla2x00_do_dpc(), the port lists are walked and
any drport pointer is handled and the fc transport informed of the port loss,
then the FCPORT_UPDATE_NEEDED bit is cleared.  This leaves a race where the
dpc thread is processing one port removal, another port removal is marked
with a call to qla2x00_schedule_rport_del(), and the dpc thread clears the
bit for both removals, even though only the first removal was actually
handled.  Until another event occurs to set FCPORT_UPDATE_NEEDED, the later
port removal is never finished and qla2xxx stays in a bad state which causes
requests to become stuck on request queues.

This patch updates the driver to test and clear FCPORT_UPDATE_NEEDED
atomically.  This ensures the port state changes are processed and not lost.
