Fair enough, i'm happy to break out this single bug-fix into a separate
patch for mainline.

Yes, the usage of TRANSPORT_FREE_CMD_INTR with qla2xx is also
problematic with transport_generic_wait_for_tasks(), because readding
se_cmd via transport_add_cmd_to_queue() will reset the
cmd->t_transport_active bit..

Putting this into a qla2xxx specific workqueue is fine by me.

Currently there are no additional TRANSPORT_FREE_CMD_INTR cases that we
have run into thus far.
