    [PATCH] qlogic lockup fix · 444d1d9b

    If qla2x00_probe_one()'s call to qla2x00_iospace_config() fails, we call
    qla2x00_free_device() to clean up.  But because ha->dpc_pid hasn't been set
    yet, qla2x00_free_device() tries to stop a kernel thread which hasn't started
    yet.  It does wait_for_completion() against an uninitialised completion struct
    and the kernel hangs up.
    
    Fix it by initialising ha->dpc_pid a bit earlier.
