Mark struct fc_lport member prov with __rcu that fixes following
warning :-

drivers/target/tcm_fc/tfc_sess.c:47:17: error: incompatible types in comparison expression (different address spaces):
drivers/target/tcm_fc/tfc_sess.c:47:17:    void [noderef] __rcu *
drivers/target/tcm_fc/tfc_sess.c:47:17:    void *
drivers/target/tcm_fc/tfc_sess.c:72:9: error: incompatible types in comparison expression (different address spaces):
drivers/target/tcm_fc/tfc_sess.c:72:9:    void [noderef] __rcu *

This patch looks suspicious to me. Although the tcm_fc driver uses RCU
to modify 'prov', this is a choice that has been made in the tcm_fc
driver and not something that other libfc users are required to do. In
other words, I think this should be fixed in the tcm_fc driver instead
of in the libfc header.

Bart.

Thanks for the reply Bart. I'll make the necessary change and see if warning still persists.
