5.0-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Tyrel Datwyler <tyreld@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> commit 7205981e045e752ccf96cf6ddd703a98c59d4339 upstream. For each ibmvscsi host created during a probe or destroyed during a remove we either add or remove that host to/from the global ibmvscsi_head list. This runs the risk of concurrent modification. This patch adds a simple spinlock around the list modification calls to prevent concurrent updates as is done similarly in the ibmvfc driver and ipr driver.
