qla24xx_process_response_queue() advances ring_ptr past the head IOCB
before dispatching, so by the time __qla_consume_iocb() runs, ring_ptr
already points at the first continuation IOCB. The function however
looped purex->entry_count times starting at ring_ptr. As entry_count
includes the head, this consumed one entry too many: it stamped
RESPONSE_PROCESSED on the next, unrelated IOCB and advanced the ring
past it, silently dropping a legitimate firmware response. The head
IOCB's signature was also never marked.
Mark the head processed and account for it, then consume only the
entry_count - 1 continuation IOCBs, matching __qla_copy_purex_to_buffer().
