[SCSI] ibmvfc: Fix dropped interrupts
This patch fixes a problem of possible dropped interrupts. Currently,
the ibmvfc driver has a race condition where after ibmvfc_interrupt
gets run, the platform code clears the interrupt. This can result in
lost interrupts and, in worst case scenarios, result in command
timeouts. Fix this by implementing a tasklet similar to what the
ibmvscsi driver does so that interrupt processing is no longer done in
the actual interrupt handler, which eliminates the race.
