scsi: qla2xxx: Fix response queue handler reading stale packets
On some platforms, the current logic of relying on finding new packet solely based on signature pattern can lead to driver reading stale packets. Though this is a bug in those platforms, reduce such exposures by limiting reading packets until the IN pointer. Two module parameters are introduced: ql2xrspq_follow_inptr: When set, on newer adapters that has queue pointer shadowing, look for response packets only until response queue in pointer. When reset, response packets are read based on a signature pattern logic (old way). ql2xrspq_follow_inptr_legacy: Like ql2xrspq_follow_inptr, but for those adapters where there is no queue pointer shadowing.
