Vasu Dev c826a31457 [SCSI] fcoe: Out of order tx frames was causing several check condition SCSI status
frames followed by these errors in log.

	[sdp] Result: hostbyte=DID_OK driverbyte=DRIVER_SENSE,SUGGEST_OK
	[sdp] Sense Key : Aborted Command [current]
	[sdp] Add. Sense: Data phase error

This was causing some test apps to exit due to write failure under heavy
load.

This was due to a race around adding and removing tx frame skb in
fcoe_pending_queue, Chris Leech helped me to find that brief unlocking
period when pulling skb from fcoe_pending_queue in various contexts
(fcoe_watchdog and fcoe_xmit) and then adding skb back into fcoe_pending_queue
up on a failed fcoe_start_io could change skb/tx frame order in
fcoe_pending_queue. Thanks Chris.

This patch allows only single context to pull skb from fcoe_pending_queue
at any time to prevent above described ordering issue/race by use of
fcoe_pending_queue_active flag.

This patch simplified fcoe_watchdog with modified fcoe_check_wait_queue by
use of FCOE_LOW_QUEUE_DEPTH instead previously used several conditionals
to clear and set lp->qfull.

I think FCOE_MAX_QUEUE_DEPTH with FCOE_LOW_QUEUE_DEPTH  will work better
in re/setting lp->qfull and these could be fine tuned for performance.
