Subject: scsi: qla2xxx: Replace fcport alloc with qla2x00_alloc_fcport

From: Quinn Tran <[email protected]>

commit 063b36d6b0ad74c748d536f5cb47bac2f850a0fa upstream.

Current code manually allocate an fcport structure that is not properly initialize. Replace kzalloc with qla2x00_alloc_fcport, so that all fields are initialized. Also set set scan flag to port found
