Satish Kharat d1b3f51ee1 scsi: libfc: fix a deadlock in fc_rport_work
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.

README

Linux kernel
============

This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst

Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users.
These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
