[SCSI] libsas: fix failure to revalidate domain for anything but the first expander child.
In an enclosure model where there are chaining expanders to a large body of storage, it was discovered that libsas, responding to a broadcast event change, would only revalidate the domain of first child expander in the list. The issue is that the pointer value to the discovered source device was used to break out of the loop, rather than the content of the pointer. This still remains non-compliant as the revalidate domain code is supposed to loop through all child expanders, and not stop at the first one it finds that reports a change count. However, the design of this routine does not allow multiple device discoveries and that would be a more complicated set of patches reserved for another day. We are fixing the glaring bug rather than refactoring the code. Signed-off-by: Mark Salyzyn <msalyzyn@us.xyratex.com> Cc: stable@kernel.org Signed-off-by: James Bottomley <JBottomley@Parallels.com>
