scsi: qla2xxx: Fix unintialized List head crash
commit e3dde080 upstream. In case of IOCB Queue full or system where memory is low and driver receives large number of RSCN storm, the stale sp pointer can stay on gpnid_list resulting in page_fault. This patch fixes this issue by initializing the sp->elem list head and removing sp->elem before memory is freed.
