In a link bounce scenario, a condition can occur where the discovery
engine swaps an ndlp structure (address change for an nport). While the
swap was successfully executed by the discovery engine, the driver did
not properly detect a change in the ndlp bound to the nvme rport. This
error resulted in the nvme host transport issuing an IO to the correct
nvme rport, but the lpfc driver addressed a ndlp with an NLP_UNUSED
status and failed the io. This resulting it it looking like there were
missing namespaces and applications failed due to io errors.
To fix, in lpfc_nvme_register_rport, rework the "rebind" case to break
the nvme rport<->ndlp association when the ndlp already has an
nrport. Then rebind the rport to the correct ndlp data and backpointers.
