scsi: lpfc: Fix crash when a fabric node is released prematurely
The driver's management of the fabric controller (aka pseudo-scsi initiator) node in SLI3 mode is causing this crash. The crash occurs because of a node reference imbalance that frees the fabric controller node while devloss is outstanding from the SCSI transport. This is triggered by an odd behavior where the switch reacts to a rejected RDP request with a PLOGI and nothing else, not even a LOGO. The driver ACKS the PLOGI and after successfully registering the RPI, incorrectly registers the fabric controller node because it has the NLP_FC4_FCP flag still set from the fabric controller PRLI. If a LIP is issued, the driver attempts to cleanup on Link Up and ends up executing too many puts. Fix by detecting the fabric node type and clearing out the nodes internal flags that triggered a SCSI transport registration and subsequence dev_loss event. The driver cannot count on any persistence from fabric controller nodes.
