PATCH 1/1 qla4xx: a small loop fix

From: Tomas Henzl <[email protected]>

When the qla4xxx_get_fwddb_entry returns QLA_ERROR the nex_idx is not updated,

      for (idx = 0; idx < max_ddbs; idx = next_idx) {
                ret = qla4xxx_get_fwddb_entry(ha, idx, NULL, 0, NULL,
                                              &next_idx, &state, &conn_err,
                                                NULL, NULL);
                if (ret == QLA_ERROR)
                        continue;

This means there is a risk that the 'idx < max_ddbs' condition will never met and the loop will loop forever.
Fix this by explicitly increasing the next_idx in the error condition.

Maybe a break instead of continue is more appropriate, leaving the decision on the qlogic maintainer.

Patch looks correct.

James, this is a patch for something that is not yet upstream. I will just merge this patch with the patch I was going to send upstream, so do not worry about it.

It's created on top of scsi-misc (99a700bcc75429ba84a672d04f0b650dcc5b3042 [SCSI] mv_sas: OCZ RevoDrive3 & zDrive R4 support) it looks like being created on top of the not yet posted patch, but it isn't so :)
To the method how this gets accepted i don't care.

Ah yeah, you are right. Go ahead and take it.
