From: Heiko Carstens <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>

zfcp_erp_strategy_check_fsfreq() checks if it is safe to access the
fsf_req associated with the erp_action that gets passed. To test if
it is safe it accesses the fsf_req in order to get its index into
the hash list. This is broken since the fsf_req might be freed already
and the read index has no meaning. It could lead to memory corruption.
Fix this by introducing a new zfcp_reqlist_find_safe() method which
just checks if addresses are equal. This is slower, but only gets
called in case of error recovery.
