zfcp: Trace plogi and prli within open port response as payload
This commit updates the zfcp debug trace to include PLOGI and PRLI content
from open port responses back-to-back in the payload trace record. It also
introduces a level argument to zfcp_dbf_pl_write() to control trace
verbosity and avoid flooding the log.

[Severity: High]
This is a pre-existing issue, but I noticed it while looking at this
modified call to zfcp_dbf_pl_write().
Are q_head->log_start and q_head->log_length validated before being used
to compute the source pointer and length here?
Since these fields are retrieved from the FCP adapter's response header,
could a malfunctioning or malicious adapter return arbitrarily large
values? If log_start + log_length exceeds the bounds of the req->qtcb
allocation, could this result in an out-of-bounds read of kernel memory
when copying into the trace buffer?
