[PATCH] fc transport: bug fix: correct references

[James Smart <James.Smart@Emulex.Com>]

Updating the FC transport for the following:
- Take a self-reference on the rport. Prior, when the starget was removed,
  the ref count would hit zero and fc_rport_dev_release was called, which
  would free the rport. This left corrupt lists, etc...
  Symptoms of error is oops w/ either:
    "Badness in kref_get in lib/kref.c:32"
    "Unable to handle kernel paging request for data at address 0x00000010"
       from kref_get
- Fix fc_rport_create failure path - too many put's on parent
- Add commenting to easily track ref taking.
