A prior patch introduced a spin_lock_irqsave(hbalock) in the
lpfc_post_rq_buffer() routine. Call trace is seen as the hbalock is held
with interrupts disabled during a GFP_KERNEL allocation in
lpfc_sli4_nvmet_alloc().
Fix by reordering locking so that hbalock not held when calling
sli4_nvmet_alloc() (aka rqb_buf_list()).

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
