That's a interesting point, but I think it's harmless since there's no
rcu sync within the read section.

  https://www.kernel.org/doc/Documentation/RCU/Design/Requirements/Requirements.html#Guaranteed%20Read-to-Write%20Upgrade

That said, the rcu_read_lock() seems like it should be moved to
nvmet_fc_assoc_exits() since that's the only part reading rcu protected
structures.
