Quinn Tran f159b3c7cd qla2xxx: Fix sess_lock & hardware_lock lock order problem.
The main lock that needs to be held for CMD or TMR submission
to upper layer is the sess_lock. The sess_lock is used to
serialize cmd submission and session deletion. The addition
of hardware_lock being held is not necessary. This patch removes
hardware_lock dependency from CMD/TMR submission.

Use hardware_lock only for error response in this case.

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.
