scsi: qla2xxx: Serialize NVMe unsol ctx list with a per-fcport lock

Browse source 
The fcport->unsol_ctx_head list is modified from several contexts without
a common lock. Entries are added in qla2xxx_process_purls_iocb() from the
response queue ISR (under the qpair qp_lock), while they are removed from
qla2xxx_process_purls_pkt() (DPC/purex worker), qla_nvme_xmt_ls_rsp()
(NVMe-FC transport callback) and qla_nvme_release_lsrsp_cmd_kref() (SRB
completion). The qpair qp_lock cannot serialize this per-fcport list since
multiqueue adapters add entries through different qpairs, so a concurrent
add and delete (or two concurrent deletes) can corrupt the list pointers.

Introduce a dedicated per-fcport spinlock, unsol_ctx_lock, initialized in
qla2x00_alloc_fcport(), and take it around every list_add_tail()/list_del()
on unsol_ctx_head. The add nests under the existing qp_lock; no delete path
takes qp_lock, so the lock order is consistent and deadlock free.
