PATCH 13/25 zfcp: decouple TMFs from scsi_cmnd by using fc_block_rport

Intentionally retrieve the rport by walking SCSI common code objects rather than zfcp_sdev->port->rport.

The latter is used for pairing the calls to fc_remote_port_add() and fc_remote_port_delete(). [see v2.6.31 commit 379d6bf6573e ("[SCSI] zfcp:
Add port only once to FC transport class")]

zfcp_scsi_rport_register() sets zfcp_port.rport to what fc_remote_port_add() returned.
zfcp_scsi_rport_block() sets zfcp_port.rport = NULL after having called fc_remote_port_delete().

Hence, while an rport is blocked (or in any subsequent state due to scsi_transport_fc timeouts such as fast_io_fail_tmo or dev_loss_tmo), zfcp_port.rport is NULL and cannot serve as argument to fc_block_rport().

During zfcp recovery, a just recovered zfcp_port can have the UNBLOCKED status flag, but an async rport unblocking has only started via zfcp_scsi_schedule_rport_register() in zfcp_erp_try_rport_unblock() [see v4.10 commit 6f2ce1c6af37 ("scsi: zfcp: fix rport unblock race with LUN recovery")] in zfcp_erp_action_cleanup(). Now zfcp_erp_wait() can return. This would be sufficient to successfully send a TMF. But the rport can still be blocked and zfcp_port.rport can still be NULL until zfcp_port.rport_work was scheduled and has actually called fc_remote_port_add() and assigned its return value to zfcp_port.rport. We need an unblocked rport for a successful scsi_eh TUR.

Similarly, for a zfcp_port which has just lost its UNBLOCKED status flag, the return of zfcp_erp_wait() can race with zfcp_port.rport_work queued by zfcp_scsi_schedule_rport_block(). Therefore we cannot reliably access zfcp_port.rport. However, we'd like to get fc_rport_block()'s opinion on when fast_io_fail_tmo triggered. While we might use flush_work(&port->rport_work) to sync with the work item, we can simply use the other way to get an rport pointer.

Notes:
Changes since RFC:

For consistency renamed from "zfcp: use fc_block_rport for TMFs and host reset to decouple from scsi_cmnd".

zfcp_scsi_eh_host_reset_handler() will be converted in a later patch. Therefore, this patch here does not touch the host reset case any more.

Since the previous "[RFC 6/9] scsi: fc: start decoupling fc_block_scsi_eh from scsi_cmnd" was queued for 4.14 already, I dropped it from this new patch set version and simply depend on it.

Intentionally retrieve the rport by walking SCSI common code objects rather than zfcp_sdev->port->rport.

This also fixes the problem that we could not synchronize if port->rport is NULL but still continued as if the TMF was successful as Hannes correctly pointed out.
