Subject: [ 048/147] [SCSI] zfcp: remove invalid reference to list iterator variable

3.2-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

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

From: Julia Lawall <Julia.Lawall@...6.fr>

commit ca579c9f136af4274ccfd1bcaee7f38a29a0e2e9 upstream.

If list_for_each_entry, etc complete a traversal of the list, the iterator
variable ends up pointing to an address at an offset from the list head,
and not a meaningful structure.  Thus this value should not be used after
the end of the iterator.  Replace port->adapter->scsi_host by
adapter->scsi_host.

This problem was found using Coccinelle (http://coccinelle.lip6.fr/).

Oversight in upsteam commit of v2.6.37

"[SCSI] zfcp: Move ACL/CFDC code to zfcp_cfdc.c"
which merged the content of zfcp_erp_port_access_changed().
