Subject: lpfc: Fix Device discovery failures during switch reboot test.

From: James Smart <[email protected]>

commit 342b59caa66240b670285d519fdfe2c44289b516 upstream.

When the switch is rebooted, the lpfc driver fails to log into the fabric, and Unexpected timeout message is seen.

Fix: Do not issue RegVFI if the FLOGI was internally aborted.
