A test scenario has a target issuing a TPLS after accepting the driver's PRLI. TPLS is not supported by the driver so it rejects the ELS. However, the reject was only happening on the primary N_Port. If the TPLS was to a NPIV vport, not only would it reject the ELS, but it would act on the TPLS, starting devloss, then unregister from the SCSI transport and release the node. When devloss expired, it would access the node again and cause a page faul. Fix by altering the NPIV code to recognize that a correctly registered node can reject unsolicited ELS IO and to not unregister with the SCSI transport and tear the node down. Add a check of the fc4_xpt_flags so that only a zero value allows the unreg and teardown.
