[SCSI] libfc: fix a circular locking warning during sending RRQ

Browse source 
Currently the fc_exch_rrq is called with fc_exch's ex_lock held.
The fc_exch_rrq allocates new exch and that requires taking
ex_lock again after EM lock. This locking order causes warning,
see more details on this warning at :-

 http://www.open-fcoe.org/pipermail/devel/2009-July/003251.html

This patch fixes this by dropping the ex_lock before calling
fc_exch_rrq().

The fc_exch_rrq needs to grab ex_lock lock again to schedule
RRQ retry and in the meanwhile fc_exch_reset could occur before
ex_lock is grabbed inside fc_exch_rrq. So to handle this case,
this patch adds additional check to detect fc_exch_reset after
ex_lock acquired and in case the fc_exch_reset occurred then
abandons the RRQ retry and releases the exch.
