Subject: [PATCH 2.6.30 2/2] cxgb3: link fault fixes

From: Divy Le Ray <divy@...lsio.com>

Do not call t3_link_fault() under spinlock, as it calls msleep().
Besides, only the access to pi->link_fault needs to be serialized.

Also initialize local variables before checking the link status,
link state fields might otherwise end up containing garbage.
