[PATCH 3.19.y-ckt 071/102] fnic: Use the local variable instead of I/O flag to acquire io_req_lock in fnic_queuecommand() to avoid deadloack

3.19.8-ckt7 -stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Hiral Shah <hishah at cisco.com>

commit db196935d9562abec4510f48d887bc1f1e054fcf upstream.

We added changes in fnic driver patch 1.6.0.16 to acquire
io_req_lock in fnic_queuecommand() before issuing I/O so that io completion
is serialized. But when releasing the lock we check for the I/O flag and
this could be modified if IO abort occurs before I/O completion. In this case
we wont release the lock and causes deadlock in some scenerios. Using the
local variable to check the IO lock status will resolve the problem.
