qla2xxx: Fix sess_lock & hardware_lock lock order problem.
The main lock that needs to be held for CMD or TMR submission
to upper layer is the sess_lock. The sess_lock is used to
serialize cmd submission and session deletion. The addition
of hardware_lock being held is not necessary. This patch removes
hardware_lock dependency from CMD/TMR submission.
Use hardware_lock only for error response in this case.
