James Smart d1f525aaa4 Fix driver unload/reload operation.
There are couple of different load/unload issues fixed with this patch.
One of the issues was reported by Junichi Nomura, a patch was submitted
by Johannes Thumsrhirn which did fix one of the problems but the fix in
this patch separates the pring free from the queue free and does not set
the parameter passed in to NULL.

issues:
(1) driver could not be unloaded and reloaded without some Oops or
 Panic occurring.
(2) The driver was panicking because of a corruption in the Memory
Manager when the iocb list was getting allocated.

Root cause for the memory corruption was a double free of the Work Queue
ring pointer memory - Freed once in the lpfc_sli4_queue_free when the CQ
was destroyed and again in lpfc_sli4_queue_free when the WQ was destroyed.

The pring free and the queue free were separated, the pring free was moved
to the wq destroy routine because it a better fit logically to delete the
ring with the wq.

The checkpatch flagged several alignmenet issues that were also corrected
with this patch.

The mboxq was never initialed correctly before it was used by the driver
this patch corrects that issue.

Linux kernel
============

This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst

Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users.
These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
