So pr_reg->pr_reg_deve is only referenced in the context of ALL_TG_PT=1,
I_PORT=1 and REGISTER_AND_MOVE registration, when pr_reg->pr_kref is
already held.

Probably not.  Changing these to rcu_read_lock.

It should be fine to dereference pr_reg_tmp->pr_reg_deve directly here.

This is not going to work, because __core_scsi3_free_registration() can
be invoked via core_disable_device_list_for_node() ->
core_scsi3_free_pr_reg_from_nacl(), after the kfree_rcu() for
se_dev_entry has occurred.

So keeping the extra lookup for this one particular case, and dropping
the rest.
