It occurs because fc_seq_send can have multiple contexts executing within it at
the same time, and fc_seq_send doesn't consistently use the ep->ex_lock that
protects this structure. Because of that, its possible for one context to clear
the INIT bit in the ep->esb_state field while another checks it, leading to the
above stack trace generated by the WARN_ON in the function.
We should probably undertake the effort to convert access to the fc_exch
structures to use rcu, but that a larger work item. To just fix this specific
issue, we can just extend the ex_lock protection through the entire fc_seq_send
path
