Do we hit this code path if some other process has set the lpfc ndlp 
state and is calling fc_remote_port_delete? Or can we end up hitting 
this when the fc rport is FC_PORTSTATE_ONLINE (and not going to get 
deleted)? If the former, I had thought target busy was best because I 
thought it was just when we race with the fc_remote_port_delete and the 
ndlp change, and so I thought in this case we just wanted to fail with 
target busy to reflect that it was due to the race and not the transport 
problem that caused the rport deletion. That may not be logical or right 
though :) I do not care either way. I am mostly asking because if we go 
your route then I will send a patch to change the other fc drivers so 
they all do the same thing for this type of case.
