[PATCH 5/7] net/ncsi: Disable HWA mode when no channels are found

From: Gavin Shan <gwshan at linux.vnet.ibm.com>

When there are no NCSI channels probed, HWA (Hardware Arbitration)
mode is enabled. It's not correct because HWA depends on the fact:
NCSI channels exist and all of them support HWA mode. This disables
HWA when no channels are probed.
