From: Satish Kharat <satishkh@xxxxxxxxx>
In places like fc_rport_recv_plogi_req and fcoe_ctlr_vn_add we
always take the lport disc_mutex lock before the rports mutex
(rp_mutex) lock. Gaurding list_del_rcu(&rdata->peers) with
disc.disc_mutex in fc_rport_work is correct but the rp_mutex lock
can and should to be dropped before taking that lock else results
in a deadlock.
