4.11-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Quinn Tran <quinn.tran@xxxxxxxxxx> commit 0ea88662b5c6404a8f7af6b040b3cf1f0e8c3a66 upstream. Remove redundant fc_host_port_name calls to prevent early access of scsi_host->shost_data buffer. This prevent null pointer access.
