[SCSI] fcoe: fix handling of pending queue, prevent out of order fram…
…es (v3) In fcoe_check_wait_queue() the queue length could temporarily drop to 0, before the last frame was successfully sent. This resulted in out of order data frames within a single sequence, leading to IO timeout errors. This builds on the approach from Vasu Dev to only fix the queue management in fcoe_check_wait_queue, where my first patch added locking to the transmit path even when the pending queue was not in use. This patch continues to use fcoe_pending_queue.qlen instead of introducing a new length counter, but takes precautions to ensure it never drops to 0 before the final frame in the queue has successfully been passed to the netdev qdisc layer. It also includes some cleanup of fcoe_check_wait_queue and removes the fcoe_insert_wait_queue(_head) wrapper functions.
