Subject: [PATCH 0/2] Fix EH race and MQ support

Changes to the locking pattern protecting the event lists and handling of scsi
command completion introduced a race where an ouststanding command that EH is
waiting ifor to complete is no longer identifiable by being on the sent list, but
instead as a command that is not on the free list. This is a result of moving
commands to be completed off the sent list to a private list to be completed
outside the list lock.

Second, during MQ enablement the ibmvfc_wait_for_ops helper used during EH to
ensure commands were properely completed failed to be converted to check for
commands on the sub-queues isntead of the primary CRQ.

Tyrel Datwyler (2):
  ibmvfc: fix potential race in ibmvfc_wait_for_ops
  ibmvfc: make ibmvfc_wait_for_ops MQ aware
