James Smart 50e3f871fb scsi: lpfc: Resolve irq-unsafe lockdep heirarchy warning in lpfc_io_free
A patch in the 12.2.0.0 set caused a new lockdep warning:

  WARNING: SOFTIRQ-safe -> SOFTIRQ-unsafe lock order detected
  5.0.0-rc8-next-20190301-dbg+ #1 Not tainted

  Possible interrupt unsafe locking scenario:
       CPU0                    CPU1
       ----                    ----
  lock(&(&qp->io_buf_list_put_lock)->rlock);
                               local_irq_disable();
                               lock(&(&phba->hbalock)->rlock);
                               lock(&(&qp->io_buf_list_put_lock)->rlock);
  <Interrupt>
    lock(&(&phba->hbalock)->rlock);

see: https://www.spinics.net/lists/linux-scsi/msg128389.html

In summary, the new patch added taking the io_buf_list_put_lock while under
an irq-disabled hbalock. This created a lock heirarchy dependent upon irq
being disabled, and there are paths that take the io_buf_list_put_lock
without disabling irq.

Looking at the lpfc_io_free routine, which is where the new heirarchy was
introduced, there is no reason to be taking out the hbalock and raising
irq, as the functionality is replaced by the io_buf_list_xxx locks.

Resolve by removing the hbalock/irq calls in lpfc_io_free.

README

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
