[PATCH v2 1/5] scsi: elx: efct: check the HW state before allocating an HIO

[Ali Ahmet Memis <ali@iusegentoo.com>]

efct_els_hw_srrs_send() takes an HIO from the pool and only then looks at
hw->state, returning without giving it back when the HW is not active:

	hio = efct_hw_io_alloc(hw);
	if (!hio) {
		pr_err("HIO alloc failed\n");
		return -EIO;
	}

	if (hw->state != EFCT_HW_STATE_ACTIVE) {
		efc_log_debug(hw->os,
			      "cannot send SRRS, HW state=%d\n", hw->state);
		return -EIO;
	}

_efct_hw_io_alloc() moves the entry from hw->io_free to hw->io_inuse and
initialises its reference, and the only thing that puts it back is the
completion of a submitted WQE. Nothing is submitted here, so the entry
stays on hw->io_inuse for the lifetime of the adapter. The memory is
reclaimed in efct_hw_teardown(), which frees hw->io[] as a whole, but the
pool loses one usable entry for every ELS or CT send that takes this
path. Once it is empty efct_hw_io_alloc() starts failing and no further
ELS or CT traffic can be sent.

Check the state first, the way efct_hw_bls_send() already does.
