scsi: lpfc: Fix error in remote port address change
In a test with high nvme remote port counts connected via a multi-hop FC
switch config where switches were systematically reset (e.g. fabric
partitioning and re-establishment), the nvme remote ports would switch
addresses based on the switch reconfiguration events. The driver would get
into a situation where the nvme port changed address, PLOGI and PRLI would
succeed nvme transport registration occurred, but subsequent LS requests by
the nvme subsystem failed due to a bad ndlp state and connectivity to the
device failed.
The driver hit a race condition on multiple devices that address swapped
simultaneously. In cases where the driver notices the remote port structure
came back as the same value as previously (meaning a nvme_rport structure
was re-enabled and did not go through devloss_tmo/connect_tmo_failures on
all controllers) the driver would unconditionally exit assuming the ndlp
information was correct. But, if the ndlp's had been swapped, the ndlp had
stale port state information, which when used by the LS request commands,
would fail the commands.
Fix by checking whether a node swap had occurred, and only exit if no ndlp
swap had occurred.
