Commit be1bb6c95 changed the way volumes were stored from a forward
linked list to a hash table. In doing so, it required that each vol
object would have 3 unique values as keys into tables - key, name,
and path. Due to how vHBA/NPIV LUNs are created/used this resulted
in a failure to utilize all the LUN's found during processing.

The virStorageBackendSCSINewLun uses virStorageBackendSCSISerial
in order to read/return the unique serial number of the LUN to be
used as a key for the volume.

However, for NPIV based LUNs the logic results in usage of the
same serial value for each path to the LUN. For example,

$ lsscsi -tg
...
[4:0:3:13]   disk    fc:0x207800c0ffd79b2a0xeb02ef   /dev/sde   /dev/sg16
[4:0:4:0]    disk    fc:0x50060169446021980xeb1f00   /dev/sdf   /dev/sg17
[4:0:5:0]    disk    fc:0x50060161446021980xeb2000   /dev/sdg   /dev/sg18
...

/lib/udev/scsi_id --replace-whitespace --whitelisted --device /dev/sde
3600c0ff000d7a2965c603e5401000000
/lib/udev/scsi_id --replace-whitespace --whitelisted --device /dev/sdf
350060160c460219850060160c4602198
/lib/udev/scsi_id --replace-whitespace --whitelisted --device /dev/sdg
350060160c460219850060160c4602198

The /dev/sdf and /dev/sdg although separate LUNs would end up with the
same serial number used for the vol->key value. When attempting to add
the LUN via virStoragePoolObjAddVol, the hash table code will indicate
that we have a duplicate:

   virHashAddOrUpdateEntry:341 : internal error: Duplicate key

and thus the LUN is not added to the pool.

Digging deeper into the scsi_id output using the --export option one
will find that the only difference between the two luns is:

   ID_TARGET_PORT=1 for /dev/sdf
   ID_TARGET_PORT=2 for /dev/sdg

So, let's use the ID_TARGET_PORT string value along with the serial
to generate a more unique key using "@serial_PORT@target_port", where
@target_port is just the value of the ID_TARGET_PORT for the LUN.

This sort of conditional code within a function can lead to confusing
code. Also, why is this even depending on WITH_UDEV if it does not
depend on libudev at all?

+                       dev);

The other usage of /lib/udev/scsi_id oddly guarded by WITH_UDEV actually
provides a fallback in case we're compiling on a system without udev.

Erroring out anyway makes the whole #ifdef even more pointless.
