scsi: zfcp: Clarify access to erp_action in zfcp_fsf_req_complete()
While reviewing commit 936e6b85 ("scsi: zfcp: Fix panic on ERP timeout for previously dismissed ERP action"), I stumbled over zfcp_fsf_req_complete() and wondered whether it has similar issues wrt concurrent modification of req->erp_action by zfcp_erp_strategy_check_fsfreq(). But a closer look shows that both its two callers [zfcp_fsf_reqid_check(), zfcp_fsf_req_dismiss_all()] remove the request from the adapter's req_list under the req_list's lock. Hence we can trust that if zfcp_erp_strategy_check_fsfreq() concurrently looks up the corresponding req_id, it won't find this request and is thus unable to modify it while it's being processed by zfcp_fsf_req_complete(). Add a code comment that hopefully makes this easier for future readers, and condense the two accesses to ->erp_action that made me trip over this code path in the first place.
