scsi: zfcp: Fix missing auto port scan and thus missing target ports

commit 4da8c5f76825269f28d6a89fa752934a4bcb6dfa upstream.

Case (1):
  The only waiter on wka_port->completion_wq is zfcp_fc_wka_port_get()
  trying to open a WKA port. As such it should only be woken up by WKA port
  *open* responses, not by WKA port close responses.

Case (2):
  A close WKA port response coming in just after having sent a new open WKA
  port request and before blocking for the open response with wait_event()
  in zfcp_fc_wka_port_get() erroneously renders the wait_event a NOP
  because the close handler overwrites wka_port->status. Hence the
  wait_event condition is erroneously true and it does not enter blocking
  state.

With non-negligible probability, the following time space sequence happens
depending on timing without this fix:

user process        ERP thread zfcp work queue tasklet system work queue
============        ========== =============== ======= =================
$ echo 1 > online
zfcp_ccw_set_online

|                   zfcp_erp_action_cleanup

|                   queue delayed scan_work
|                   queue ns_up_work
|                              ns_up_work:

|                              GSPN FC-GS
|                              RSPN FC-GS [NPIV-only]
|                              zfcp_fc_wka_port_put
|                               (--wka->refcount==0)
|                               sched delayed wka->work
|
~~~Case (1)~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
zfcp_erp_wait
flush scan_work
|                                                      wka->work:
|                                                      wka->status=CLOSING
|                                                      close wka request
|                              scan_work:
|                              zfcp_fc_wka_port_get
|                               (wka->status==CLOSING)
|                               wka->status=OPENING
|                               open wka request
|                               wait_event
|                               |              close response
|                               |              wka->status=OFFLINE
|                               |              wake_up /*WRONG*/
~~~Case (2)~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|                                                      wka->work:
|                                                      wka->status=CLOSING
|                                                      close wka request
zfcp_erp_wait
flush scan_work
|                              scan_work:
|                              zfcp_fc_wka_port_get
|                               (wka->status==CLOSING)
|                               wka->status=OPENING
|                               open wka request
|                                              close response
|                                              wka->status=OFFLINE
|                                              wake_up /*WRONG&NOP*/
|                               wait_event /*NOP*/
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|                               (wka->status!=ONLINE)
|                               return -EIO
|                              return early
                                               open response
                                               wka->status=ONLINE
                                               wake_up /*NOP*/

So we erroneously end up with no automatic port scan. This is a big problem
when it happens during boot. The timing is influenced by v3.19 commit
18f87a67e6d6 ("zfcp: auto port scan resiliency").

Fix it by fully mutually excluding zfcp_fc_wka_port_get() and
zfcp_fc_wka_port_offline(). For that to work, we make the latter block
until we got the response for a close WKA port. In order not to penalize
the system workqueue, we move wka_port->work to our own adapter workqueue.
Note that before v2.6.30 commit 828bc1212a68 ("[SCSI] zfcp: Set WKA-port to
offline on adapter deactivation"), zfcp did block in
zfcp_fc_wka_port_offline() as well, but with a different condition.

While at it, make non-functional cleanups to improve code reading in
zfcp_fc_wka_port_get(). If we cannot send the WKA port open request, don't
rely on the subsequent wait_event condition to immediately let this case
pass without blocking. Also don't want to rely on the additional condition
handling the refcount to be skipped just to finally return with -EIO.
