libfc: Update rport reference counting
Originally libfc would just be initializing the refcount to '1', and using the disc_mutex to synchronize if and when the final put should be happening. This has a race condition as the mutex might be delayed, causing other threads to access an invalid structure. This patch updates the rport reference counting to increase the reference every time 'rport_lookup' is called, and decreases the reference correspondingly. This removes the need to hold 'disc_mutex' when removing the structure, and avoids the above race condition. Signed-off-by:Hannes Reinecke <hare@suse.com> Acked-by:
