smatch stuff: qla3xxxx: locking problem in ql_adapter_initialize()

[Dan Carpenter]

Hi Ron,

The latest version of Smatch complains about this code which was merged
in 2009: 0f77ca928b "qla3xxx: Don't sleep while holding lock."

drivers/net/ethernet/qlogic/qla3xxx.c +3231 ql_adapter_initialize(221)
	error: calling 'spin_unlock_irqrestore()' with bogus flags

This is zero here on the first iteration through the loop.  On x86 a
zero here means that it turns off IRQs.  (They are already off btw).

This is going save that the IRQs are disabled.

My guess is that probably the intent was to enable IRQs during the
msleep().  We turn on IRQs again ql_adapter_up() so it doesn't cause a
deadlock but it's still not pretty.
