Apparently, the ref_count for some scsi_device drops down to zero,
triggering device removal through execute_in_process_context(), while
the lldd error recovery thread iterates through a scsi device list.
Unfortunately, execute_in_process_context() decides to immediately
execute that device removal function, instead of scheduling asynchronous
execution, since it detects process context and thinks it is safe to do
so. But almost all calls to shost_for_each_device() in our lldd are
inside spin_lock_irq, even in thread context. Obviously, schedule()
inside spin_lock_irq sections is a bad idea.

Change the lldd to use the proper iterator function,
__shost_for_each_device(), in combination with required locking.

Occurences that need to be changed include all calls in zfcp_erp.c,
since those might be executed in zfcp error recovery thread context
with a lock held.

Other occurences of shost_for_each_device() in zfcp_fsf.c do not
need to be changed (no process context, no surrounding locking).

The problem was introduced in Linux 2.6.37 by commit
558a6523bca2494a19934e13a1f4dff47c022ec5
"[SCSI] zfcp: Use SCSI device data zfcp_scsi_dev instead of zfcp_unit".
