fc_rport_login() will be calling mutex_lock() while running inside
an RCU-protected section, triggering the warning 'sleeping function
called from invalid context'.
To fix this we can drop the rcu functions here altogether as the
disc mutex protecting the list itself is already held, preventing
any list manipulation.
