This patch removes the now legacy host_lock unlock() + lock() optimization
from lpfc_scsi.c:lpfc_queuecommand(). This also includes setting the
SHT->unlocked_qcmd=1 for host_lock less lpfc lpfc_queuecommand() operation.

The FC class sets the rport state and bits with the host lock held.
Drivers were then calling fc_remote_port_chkready from the queuecommand
with the host lock held. If we remove the host lock from queuecommand is
it possible that the on one proc the fc class calls fc_remote_port_add
to re-add a rport, this sets the rport state to online, it unblocks the
devices, but then on some other processor we start calling queuecommand
and see that the rport is not online (maybe blocked with
FC_RPORT_FAST_FAIL_TIMEDOUT set) and so we end up failing the IO?
