scsi: Revert "scsi: qla2xxx: Perform lockless command completion in abort path"
This reverts commit 0367076b0817d5c75dfb83001ce7ce5c64d803a9.
The commit being reverted added code to __qla2x00_abort_all_cmds() to
call sp->done() without holding a spinlock. But unlike the older code
below it, this new code failed to check sp->cmd_type and just assumed
TYPE_SRB, which results in a jump to an invalid pointer in target-mode
with TYPE_TGT_CMD:

Then commit 4475afa2646d ("scsi: qla2xxx: Complete command early within
lock") added the spinlock back, because not having the lock caused a
race and a crash. But qla2x00_abort_srb() in the switch below already
checks for qla2x00_chip_is_down() and handles it the same way, so the
code above the switch is now redundant and still buggy in target-mode.
Remove it.
