Subject: [PATCH AUTOSEL 5.13 09/88] scsi: lpfc: Fix NULL ptr dereference with NPIV ports for RDF handling

From: James Smart <jsmart2021@...il.com>

[ Upstream commit 2d338eb55b14ab9d245e8b1d982adecca8c4c613 ]

RDF ELS handling for NPIV ports may result in an incorrect NDLP reference
count.  In the event of a persistent link down, this may lead to premature
release of an NDLP structure and subsequent NULL ptr dereference panic.

Remove extraneous lpfc_nlp_put() call in NPIV port RDF processing.
