Case (1):
The only waiter on wka_port->completion_wq is zfcp_fc_wka_port_get()
trying to open a WKA port. As such it should only be woken up by WKA port
*open* responses, not by WKA port close responses.
Case (2):
A close WKA port response coming in just after having sent a new open WKA
port request and before blocking for the open response with wait_event()
in zfcp_fc_wka_port_get() erroneously renders the wait_event a NOP
because the close handler overwrites wka_port->status. Hence the
wait_event condition is erroneously true and it does not enter blocking
state.
With non-negligible probability, the following time space sequence happens
depending on timing without this fix:
user process ERP thread zfcp work queue tasklet system work queue

zfcp_ccw_set_online

| wait_event /*NOP*/
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

wake_up /*NOP*/
So we erroneously end up with no automatic port scan. This is a big problem
when it happens during boot. The timing is influenced by v3.19 commit
18f87a67e6 ("zfcp: auto port scan resiliency").
Fix it by fully mutually excluding zfcp_fc_wka_port_get() and
zfcp_fc_wka_port_offline(). For that to work, we make the latter block
until we got the response for a close WKA port. In order not to penalize
the system workqueue, we move wka_port->work to our own adapter workqueue.
Note that before v2.6.30 commit 828bc1212a ("[SCSI] zfcp: Set WKA-port to
offline on adapter deactivation"), zfcp did block in
zfcp_fc_wka_port_offline() as well, but with a different condition.
While at it, make non-functional cleanups to improve code reading in
zfcp_fc_wka_port_get(). If we cannot send the WKA port open request, don't
rely on the subsequent wait_event condition to immediately let this case
pass without blocking. Also don't want to rely on the additional condition
handling the refcount to be skipped just to finally return with -EIO.
