Reading the patch again, I think there is still a race:

This function gets executed via schedule_work() and therefore there is
nothing that prevents the rport to go. E.g. the following might happen:
function gets enqueued for execution via schedule_work(), adapter gets
shut down, call to fc_remort_port_delete(), port->rport gets deleted,
then zfcp_erp_scsi_scan() gets called and tries to derefence port->rport
which is NULL. Addressing exception is the result.
The patch below should fix that, but it changes the call from
scsi_scan_target() to scsi_add_device(). I think that should be ok.
