Subject: [v2.6.34-stable 040/165] qla2xxx: Correct inadvertent loop state transitions during port-update handling.

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

                   -------------------
    This is a commit scheduled for the next v2.6.34 longterm release.
    http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/paulg/longterm-queue-2.6.34.git
    If you see a problem with using this for longterm, please comment.
                   -------------------

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.
