In the case when the phy_mask is bitwise anded with the
phy_index bit is zero the continue statement currently jumps
to the next iteration of the while loop and phy_index is
never actually incremented, potentially causing an infinite
loop if phy_index is less than SCI_MAX_PHS. Fix this by
jumping to the increment of phy_index.

[ The goto is used to save one more level of nesting that
makes the code far wider than 80 columns. ]

Fixes: 80aebef7c112 ("[SCSI] isci: Fix a infinite loop.")

what's wrong with replacing the while() with a for() that just works
(removing the increment at the end).  This is effectively open coding a
for loop anyway, which is a pattern we wouldn't want replicated.

Good point, V2 en-route.
