After an initial successful FLOGI into the switch, if a subsequent FLOGI fails the driver crashed accessing a node struct. On FLOGI error, the flogi completion logic triggers the final dereference on the node structure without checking if it is registered with a backend. The devloss logic is triggered after node is freed leading to the access of freed node. Fix by adjusting the error path to not take the final dereferece if there is an outstanding transport registration. Let the transport devloss call remove the final reference.
