From: Quinn Tran quinn.tran@cavium.com

commit b0dcce746b32ac573343ad39cb3dc485030de95e upstream.

Original code acquires hardware_lock to add Abort IOCB onto driver request queue for processing. However, abort_command() will also acquire hardware lock to look up sp pointer before issuing abort IOCB command resulting into a deadlock. This patch safely removes the possible deadlock scenario by removing extra spinlock.
