Fix deadlock in lpfc_fdmi_tmo_handler

lpfc_fdmi_tmo_handler was calling lpfc_fdmi_cmd with the host_lock
held.  lpfc_fdmi_cmd assumes the host_lock is released as it calls functions
that acquire the host_lock.  lpfc_fdmi_tmo_handler acquired the host_lock to
protect access to work_hba_events.  This was already checked in the worker
thread so we can remove that code completely and remove access to the host_lock.
