Storages are free to send RSCNs, e.g. for internal state changes. If this
happens on all connected paths, zfcp risks temporarily losing all paths at
the same time. This has strong requirements on multipath configuration such
as "no_path_retry queue".
Avoid such situations by deferring fc_rport blocking until after the ADISC
response, when any actual state change of the remote port became clear.
The already existing port recovery triggers explicitly block the fc_rport.
The triggers are: on ADISC reject or timeout (typical cable pull case), and
on ADISC indicating that the remote port has changed its WWPN or
the port is meanwhile no longer open.
As a side effect, this also removes a confusing direct function call to
another work item function zfcp_scsi_rport_work() instead of scheduling
that other work item. It was probably done that way to have the rport block
side effect immediate and synchronous to the caller.
