Subject: nvme_fcloop: disassocate local port structs

From: James Smart <jsmart2021@gmail.com>


[ Upstream commit 6fda20283e55b9d288cd56822ce39fc8e64f2208 ]

The current fcloop driver gets its lport structure from the private
area co-allocated with the fc_localport. All is fine except the
teardown path, which wants to wait on the completion, which is marked
complete by the delete_localport callback performed after
unregister_localport.  The issue is, the nvme_fc transport frees the
localport structure immediately after delete_localport is called,
meaning the original routine is trying to wait on a complete that
was just freed.

Change such that a lport struct is allocated coincident with the
addition and registration of a localport. The private area of the
localport now contains just a backpointer to the real lport struct.
Now, the completion can be waited for, and after completing, the
new structure can be kfree'd.
