[PATCH 1/5] scsi: fnic: Use mempool for receive frames

[PATCH 1/5] scsi: fnic: Use mempool for receive frames

[Karan Tilak Kumar]

The receive frames are constantly replenished so we should rather
use a mempool here.

fip_frame_queue is an rxq. De-alloc it in fnic_free_rxq.
Incorporate review comments from Hannes:
    Modify fnic_free_txq to have same arguments as fnic_free_rxq

[PATCH 2/5] scsi: fnic: Do not use GFP_ZERO for mempools

[Karan Tilak Kumar]

One cannot use the GFP_ZERO flag for mempool allocation, so use
memset() instead.

This kind of thing could easily translate into a static checker rule.

[PATCH 3/5] scsi: fnic: Rename fnic_scsi_fcpio_reset()

[Karan Tilak Kumar]

The function has no dependency on SCSI/FCP, so rename it to
fnic_fcpio_reset() and move it to fnic_fcs.c

[PATCH 4/5] scsi: fnic: Refactor in_remove flag and call to fnic_fcpio_reset()

[Karan Tilak Kumar]

Modify logic to remove unnecessary acquire/release of spinlock
to set in_remove flag. There's also no need to check for init status
to call fnic_fcpio_reset.
