scsi: lpfc: Fix host hang at boot or slow boot
Scenarios were seen where a host hung when the system booted or the host was very slow in booting. The link would not come up and no luns were visible to the host. After investigation, this was found to be due to the introduction of a new ACQE that adapter may generate to report a adapter hw warning. The ACQE was delivered to the driver very early in adapter initialization, when the driver did not expect command completion. As part of handling this unexpected interrupt the an EQEs are consumed and discarded and the EQ rearmed. The issue is the CQ that cause the EQE and thus the interrupt was not processed and the CQ was left unarmed. Meaning it would no longer generate a new interrupt condition. Subsequent mailbox commands used to initialize the adapter use the same CQ, and as there was no completion interrupt generated, the driver never saw the mailbox commands complete and it would wait long command timeouts. Fix by having the early flush routine also process the related CQ and rearm the CQ.
