Fix driver unload/reload operation.
There are couple of different load/unload issues fixed with this patch.
One of the issues was reported by Junichi Nomura, a patch was submitted
by Johannes Thumsrhirn which did fix one of the problems but the fix in
this patch separates the pring free from the queue free and does not set
the parameter passed in to NULL.
issues:
(1) driver could not be unloaded and reloaded without some Oops or
Panic occurring.
(2) The driver was panicking because of a corruption in the Memory
Manager when the iocb list was getting allocated.
Root cause for the memory corruption was a double free of the Work Queue
ring pointer memory - Freed once in the lpfc_sli4_queue_free when the CQ
was destroyed and again in lpfc_sli4_queue_free when the WQ was destroyed.
The pring free and the queue free were separated, the pring free was moved
to the wq destroy routine because it a better fit logically to delete the
ring with the wq.
The checkpatch flagged several alignmenet issues that were also corrected
with this patch.
The mboxq was never initialed correctly before it was used by the driver
this patch corrects that issue.
