Sawan Chandak b95b9452aa scsi: qla2xxx: Fix crash due to mismatch mumber of Q-pair creation for Multi queue
when driver is loaded with Multi Queue enabled, it was noticed that
there was one less queue pair created.

Following message would indicate this:

"No resources to create additional q pair."

The result of one less queue pair means that system can crash, if the
block mq layer thinks there is an extra hardware queue available, and
the driver will use a NULL ptr qpair in that instance.

Following stack trace is seen in one of the crash:

Linux kernel
============

This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst

Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users.
These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
