[PATCH] ibmvscsi: fix race potential race after loss of transport

After a loss of tranport due to an adatper migration or crash/disconnect from
the host partner there is a tiny window where we can race adjusting the
request_limit of the adapter. The request limit is atomically inc/dec to track
the number of inflight requests against the allowed limit of our VIOS partner.
After a transport loss we set the request_limit to zero to reflect this state.
However, there is a window where the adapter may attempt to queue a command
because the transport loss event hasn't been fully processed yet and
request_limit is still greater than zero. The hypercall to send the event will
fail and the error path will increment the request_limit as a result. If the
adapter processes the transport event prior to this increment the request_limit
becomes out of sync with the adapter state and can result in scsi commands being
submitted on the now reset connection prior to an SRP Login resulting in a
protocol violation.

Fix this race by protecting request_limit with the host lock when changing the
value via atomic_set() to indicate no transport.
