Subject: [PATCH 02/97] SCSI: qla2xxx: dpc thread can execute before scsi host has been added

From: Michael Reed <mdr@....com>

commit 1486400f7edd009d49550da968d5744e246dc7f8 upstream.

Fix crash in qla2x00_fdmi_register() due to the dpc
thread executing before the scsi host has been fully
added.

Unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference (address 00000000000001d0)

So, it appears that qla2xxx dpc thread is moving forward before the
scsi host has been completely added.

This patch moves the setting of the init_done (and online) flag to
after the call to scsi_add_host() to hold off the dpc thread.

Found via large lun count testing using 2.6.31.
