scsi: qla2xxx: Get mutex lock before checking optrom_state
[ Upstream commit c7702b8c22712a06080e10f1d2dee1a133ec8809 ]
There is a race condition with qla2xxx optrom functions where one thread
might modify optrom buffer, optrom_state while other thread is still
reading from it.
In couple of crashes, it was found that we had successfully passed the
following 'if' check where we confirm optrom_state to be
QLA_SREADING. But by the time we acquired mutex lock to proceed with
memory_read_from_buffer function, some other thread/process had already
modified that option rom buffer and optrom_state from QLA_SREADING to
QLA_SWAITING. Then we got ha->optrom_buffer 0x0 and crashed the system:
if (ha->optrom_state != QLA_SREADING)
return 0;
mutex_lock(&ha->optrom_mutex);
rval = memory_read_from_buffer(buf, count, &off, ha->optrom_buffer,
ha->optrom_region_size);
mutex_unlock(&ha->optrom_mutex);
With current optrom function we get following crash due to a race
condition:

Below patch modifies qla2x00_sysfs_read_optrom,
qla2x00_sysfs_write_optrom functions to get the mutex_lock before
checking ha->optrom_state to avoid similar crashes.
The patch was applied and tested and same crashes were no longer
observed again.
