Subject: scsi: qla2xxx: Fix NULL pointer access due to redundant fc_host_port_name call

From: Quinn Tran <[email protected]>

commit 0ea88662b5c6404a8f7af6b040b3cf1f0e8c3a66 upstream.

Remove redundant fc_host_port_name calls to prevent early access of scsi_host->shost_data buffer. This prevent null pointer access.

Following stack trace is seen:
