This code was incorrectly ported from fcoe.c when the fcoe transport infrastructure was put into place. It was originally needed in fcoe.c when dealing with the rtnl mutex. In that code it was only needed to avoid a lockdep false positive. In libfcoe we don't deal with the rtnl mutex, we don't get the lockdep false positive and therefore we don't need these checks.
