lpfc_nvme_register_port hit a null prev_ndlp pointer in a test with lots of target ports swapping addresses. The oldport value was stale, thus it's ndlp (prev_ndlp set to it) was used. Fix by moving oldrport pointer checks, and if used prev_ndlp pointer assignment, to be done while the lock is held.
