scsi: qla2xxx: edif: Fix performance dip due to lock contention
User experienced performance dip on measuring IOPS while EDIF enabled. During I/O time, driver uses dma_pool_zalloc() call to allocate a chunk of memory. This call contains a lock behind the scene which contribute to lock contention. Save the allocated memory for reuse and avoid the lock.
