[PATCH] qla2xxx: eliminate dead code in qla24xx_process_bidir_cmd

[Steven J. Magnani]

Coverity reports that the test of req_data_len vs. rsp_data_len is dead code.
This appears to be because the test occurs before any real assignment to
either variable.

Assuming that the sole in-tree execution path (QL_VND_DIAG_IO_CMD submitted
via FC pass-through on a host /dev/bsg/X) does not require the response to
have the same length as the request, all code related to the faulty test
can be removed. If this is not the case, the test should be moved much earlier
in the function since it does not depend on any resource acquitision.
