In lpfc_abort_handler, the lock acquire order is hbalock (irqsave), buf_lock (irq) and ring_lock (irq). The issue is that in two places the locks are released out of order - the buf_lock and the hbalock - resulting in the cpu preemption/lock flags getting restored out of order and deadlocking the cpu. Fix the unlock order by fully releasing the hbalocks as well.
