This was causing some test apps to exit due to write failure under heavy
load.
This was due to a race around adding and removing tx frame skb in
fcoe_pending_queue, Chris Leech helped me to find that brief unlocking
period when pulling skb from fcoe_pending_queue in various contexts
(fcoe_watchdog and fcoe_xmit) and then adding skb back into fcoe_pending_queue
up on a failed fcoe_start_io could change skb/tx frame order in
fcoe_pending_queue. Thanks Chris.
This patch allows only single context to pull skb from fcoe_pending_queue
at any time to prevent above described ordering issue/race by use of
fcoe_pending_queue_active flag.
This patch simplified fcoe_watchdog with modified fcoe_check_wait_queue by
use of FCOE_LOW_QUEUE_DEPTH instead previously used several conditionals
to clear and set lp->qfull.
I think FCOE_MAX_QUEUE_DEPTH with FCOE_LOW_QUEUE_DEPTH will work better
in re/setting lp->qfull and these could be fine tuned for performance.

unneeded/undesirable cast of void*. There are probably zillions of
instances of this - there always are.
This whole inline function was unnecessary. The FCoE layer knows
that it's data structure is stored in the lport private data, it
can just access it from lport_priv().

Encapsulation protocol for running Fibre Channel over Ethernet interfaces.
Creates virtual Fibre Channel host adapters using libfc.
This layer is the LLD to the scsi-ml. It allocates the Scsi_Host, utilizes
libfc for Fibre Channel protocol processing and interacts with netdev to
send/receive Ethernet packets.
