Subject: [PATCH 0/4] scsi: qla2xxx: Convert timers to use timer_setup()

This breaks out the logical steps to convert the qla2xxx timers:

1) init_timer() -> setup_timer()
2) refactor qla2x00_start_timer() to not pass callback as argument
3) qla2x00_timer() to use timer_setup()
4) qla2x00_sp_timeout() to use timer_setup()

The resulting diff is identical to the patch that appears to lock up
the driver. This should help identify which step causes this behavior.
