From: Krzysztof Helt <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>

This patch fixes two bugs pointed by James Bottomley:

 1. the if (!sym_data->io_reset).  That variable is only ever filled
    by a stack based completion.  If we find it non empty it means
    this code has been entered twice and we have a severe problem,
    so that should just become a BUG_ON(!sym_data->io_reset).
 2. sym_data->io_reset should be set to NULL before the routine is
    exited otherwise the PCI recovery code could end up completing
    what will be a bogus pointer into the stack.

Big thanks to James Bottomley for help with the patch.

I do not know if I understood correctly all James' tips.
