scsi: lpfc: Modify kref handling for Fabric Controller ndlps

Currently, there is a kref put in the lpfc_cleanup() routine that takes
care of outstanding references on fabric controller ndlps in UNUSED
state.  While typically there is a state change from UNUSED -> REGLOGIN
when the ndlp successfully logs into the fabric, there may be cases when
FLOGI is unsuccessful and the ndlp will remain in UNUSED state without a
registered rpi, yet the ndlp incorrectly has a kref count of one.

To address this, handling of Fabric Controller ndlps are moved into the
routines: lpfc_issue_els_scr(), lpfc_issue_els_rdf(),
lpfc_cmpl_els_disc_cmd().

In both lpfc_issue_els_scr() and lpfc_issue_els_rdf(), if there does not
exist a previously created fabric controller ndlp, an ndlp will be
created.  Otherwise, we can reuse the pre-existing ndlp object.

In lpfc_cmpl_els_disc_cmd(), if the SCR or RDF are not successfully
issued, the initial reference on the ndlp that is not registered with
upper layers will be decremented with a kref_put().
