Subject: [SCSI] isci: correct erroneous for_each_isci_host macro
commit c59053a23d586675c25d789a7494adfdc02fba57 upstream.
In the first place, the loop 'for' in the macro 'for_each_isci_host'
(drivers/scsi/isci/host.h:314) is incorrect, because it accesses
the 3rd element of 2 element array. After the 2nd iteration it executes
the instruction:
ihost = to_pci_info(pdev)->hosts[2]
(while the size of the 'hosts' array equals 2) and reads an
out of range element.
In the second place, this loop is incorrectly optimized by GCC v4.8
(see http://marc.info/?l=linux-kernel&m=138998871911336&w=2).
As a result, on platforms with two SCU controllers,
the loop is executed more times than it can be (for i=0,1 and 2).
It causes kernel panic during entering the S3 state
and the following oops after 'rmmod isci':

The loop has been corrected.
This patch fixes kernel panic during entering the S3 state
and the above oops.
