scsi: lpfc: Fix use after free in lpfc_els_free_iocb

There are several code paths where the following sequence occurs:

 - An ndlp pointer is assigned to an iocb via a nlp_get()

 - An attempt is made to issue the iocb, but it fails

 - The failure case does a put on the ndlp then calls lpfc_els_free_iocb()

The put may free the ndlp structure, but the els_free_iocb may reference
the now-stale ndlp pointer and cause a crash.

Fix by ensuring that the lpfc_els_free_iocb() occurs before the
lpfc_nlp_put().

While fixing, refactor the code to better ensure this calling sequence.
