[SCSI] ipr: improve interrupt service routine performance
During performance testing on P7 machines it was observed that the interrupt service routine was doing unnecessary MMIO operations. This patch rearranges the logic of the routine and moves some of the code out of the main routine. The result is that there are now fewer MMIO operations in the performance path of the code. As a result of the above change, an existing condition was exposed where the driver could get an "unexpected" hrrq interrupt. The original code would flag the interrupt as unexpected and then reset the adapter. After further analysis it was confirmed that this condition can occasionally occur and that the interrupt can safely be ignored. Additional code in this patch detects this condition, clears the interrupt and allows the driver to continue without resetting the adapter.
