[SCSI] qla2xxx: defer topology discovery to DPC thread during initialization.
Modify intialization semantics: - perform basic hardware configuration only (as usual) - allocate resources - load and execute firmware - defer link (transport) negotiations to the DPC thread - again the code in qla2x00_initialize_adapter() to stall probe() completion was needed for legacy-style scanning. - DPC thread stalls until probe() complete. - before probe() completes, set DPC flags to perform loop-resync logic (similar to what's done during cable-insertion/removal). Benefits: user does not have to wait 20+ seconds in case the FC cable is unplugged during driver load, code consolidation (removal of redundant link negotiation logic during initialize_adaoter()), and finilly, the driver no longer needs to defer the fc_remote_port_add() calls to hold off lun-scanning prior to returning from the probe() function.
