Subject: [PATCH 4.14 035/140] scsi: qla2xxx: Fix abort command deadlock due to spinlock

4.14-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

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

From: Quinn Tran <quinn.tran@...ium.com>

commit b0dcce746b32ac573343ad39cb3dc485030de95e upstream.

Original code acquires hardware_lock to add Abort IOCB onto driver
request queue for processing. However, abort_command() will also acquire
hardware lock to look up sp pointer before issuing abort IOCB command
resulting into a deadlock. This patch safely removes the possible
deadlock scenario by removing extra spinlock.

Fixes: 6eb54715b54bb ("qla2xxx: Added interface to send explicit LOGO.")
