James Smart 5533d42480 nvme-fc: Reattach to localports on re-registration
If the LLDD resets or detaches from an fc port, the LLDD will
deregister all remoteports seen by the fc port and deregister the
localport associated with the fc port. The teardown of the localport
structure will be held off due to reference counting until all the
remoteports are removed (and they are held off until all
controllers/associations to terminated). Currently, if the fc port
is reinit/reattached and registered again as a localport it is
treated as an independent entity from the prior localport and all
prior remoteports and controllers cannot be revived. They are
created as new and separate entities.

This patch changes the localport registration to look at the known
localports that are waiting to be torndown. If they are the same port
based on wwn's, the local port is transitioned out of the teardown
state.  This allows the remote ports and controller connections to
be reestablished and resumed as long as the localport can also be
reregistered within the timeout windows.

The patch adds a new routine nvme_fc_attach_to_unreg_lport() with
the functionality and moves the lport get/put routines to avoid
forward references.

Linux kernel
============

This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst

Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users.
These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
