ibmvfc: Fix command completion handling
commit
f5832fa2f8dc39adcf3ae348d2d6383163235e79 upstream.
Commands which are completed by the VIOS are placed on a CRQ
in kernel memory for the ibmvfc driver to process. Each CRQ
entry is 16 bytes. The ibmvfc driver reads the first 8 bytes
to check if the entry is valid, then reads the next 8 bytes to get
the handle, which is a pointer the completed command. This fixes
an issue seen on Power 7 where the processor reordered the
loads from memory, resulting in processing command completion
with a stale handle. This could result in command timeouts,
and also early completion of commands.
