[SCSI] libfc, fcoe: fixed locking issues with lport->lp_mutex around lport->link_status

The fcoe_xmit could call fc_pause in case the pending skb queue len is larger
than FCOE_MAX_QUEUE_DEPTH, the fc_pause was trying to grab lport->lp_muex to
change lport->link_status and that had these issues :-

1. The fcoe_xmit was getting called with bh disabled, thus causing
"BUG: scheduling while atomic" when grabbing lport->lp_muex with bh disabled.

2. fc_linkup and fc_linkdown function calls lport_enter function with
lport->lp_mutex held and these enter function in turn calls fcoe_xmit to send
lport related FC frame, e.g. fc_linkup => fc_lport_enter_flogi to send flogi
req. In this case grabbing the same lport->lp_mutex again in fc_puase from
fcoe_xmit would cause deadlock.

The lport->lp_mutex was used for setting FC_PAUSE in fcoe_xmit path but
FC_PAUSE bit was not used anywhere beside just setting and clear this
bit in lport->link_status, instead used a separate field qfull in fc_lport
to eliminate need for lport->lp_mutex to track pending queue full condition
and in turn avoid above described two locking issues.

Also added check for lp->qfull in fc_fcp_lport_queue_ready to trigger
SCSI_MLQUEUE_HOST_BUSY when lp->qfull is set to prevent more scsi-ml cmds
while lp->qfull is set.

This patch eliminated FC_LINK_UP and FC_PAUSE and instead used dedicated
fields in fc_lport for this, this simplified all related conditional
code.

Also removed fc_pause and fc_unpause functions and instead used newly added
lport->qfull directly in fcoe.
