Subject: [024/107] [SCSI] qla2xxx: Correct inadvertent loop state transitions during port-update handling.

2.6.32-longterm review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let us know.

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

From: Andrew Vasquez <andrew.vasquez@...gic.com>

commit 58b48576966ed0afd3f63ef17480ec12748a7119 upstream.

Transitioning to a LOOP_UPDATE loop-state could cause the driver
to miss normal link/target processing.  LOOP_UPDATE is a crufty
artifact leftover from at time the driver performed it's own
internal command-queuing.  Safely remove this state.
