    [SCSI] fcoe: Don't hold rtnl_mutex in fcoe_update_src_mac · 949e71f1
    Robert Love authored
    The rtnl_mutex was held to protect calls to dev_uc_add
    and dev_uc_del. Holding rtnl is not required as those
    functions make use of the netif_addr_lock* API to
    protect the MAC changing.
    
    This change fixes the following regression by removing
    the rtnl usage when fcoe_update_src_mac is called.
