Subject: [057/116] SCSI: scsi_transport_fc: Fix synchronization issue while deleting vport

2.6.32-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let us know.

------------------

From: Gal Rosen <galr@...rwize.com>

commit 0d9dc7c8b9b7fa0f53647423b41056ee1beed735 upstream.

The issue occur while deleting 60 virtual ports through the sys
interface /sys/class/fc_vports/vport-X/vport_delete. It happen while in
a mistake each request sent twice for the same vport. This interface is
asynchronous, entering the delete request into a work queue, allowing
more than one request to enter to the delete work queue. The result is a
NULL pointer. The first request already delete the vport, while the
second request got a pointer to the vport before the device destroyed.
Re-create vport later cause system freeze.

Solution: Check vport flags before entering the request to the work queue.

[jejb: fixed int<->long problem on spinlock flags variable]
