I'll drop this.

fc_host_fpin_rcv assumes no locks are held. I built a kernel with
LOCKDEP, PROVE_LOCKING, DEBUG_SPINLOCK et al defined, and got some
deadlocks. Some of the routines fc_host_fpin_rcv call acquire the host
lock also.
I'l change this code to use list_for_each_entry_safe. Is that enough for
safety in this case?
