Subject: [PATCH 0/2] Fix EH race and MQ support

Changes to the locking pattern protecting the event lists and handling of scsi
command completion introduced a race where an ouststanding command that EH is
waiting ifor to complete is no longer identifiable by being on the sent list, but
instead as a command that is not on the free list. This is a result of moving
commands to be completed off the sent list to a private list to be completed
outside the list lock.

Second, during MQ enablement the ibmvfc_wait_for_ops helper used during EH to
ensure commands were properely completed failed to be converted to check for
commands on the sub-queues isntead of the primary CRQ.

Subject: [PATCH 1/2] ibmvfc: fix potential race in ibmvfc_wait_for_ops

For various EH activities the ibmvfc driver uses ibmvfc_wait_for_ops()
to wait for the completion of commands that match a given criteria be it
cancel key, or specific LUN. With recent changes commands are completed
outside the lock in bulk by removing them from the sent list and adding
them to a private completion list. This introduces a potential race in
ibmvfc_wait_for_ops() since the criteria for a command to be oustsanding
is no longer simply being on the sent list, but instead not being on the
free list.

Avoid this race by scanning the entire command event pool and checking
that any matching command that ibmvfc needs to wait on is not already on
the free list.

Applied to 5.12/scsi-fixes, thanks!
