[SCSI] qla4xxx: Reduce rom-lock contention during reset recovery.
Issue: Driver holds rom-lock for too long during reset recovery. During adapter reset testing, it was found that the driver holds the rom-lock for too long, because of which other drivers fail to acquire the rom-lock, leading to reset failures. The primary cause is, in the bootstrap code, while holding the rom-lock, the driver checks if the peg is halted, causing a 2 second contention. Fix: When a reset recovery starts, the driver deduces the cause, and sets appropriate flags in watchdog & recover_adapter routines. This flag should be used to determine if bootstrap is invoked from probe or reset context, reducing the rom-lock footprint of the drivers.
