The "Nodelist not empty" log message and an accompanying delay may be observed when deleting an NPIV port or unloading the lpfc driver. This can occur due to receipt of an ABTS for which there is no corresponding login context or ndlp allocated. In such cases, the driver allocates a new ndlp object to send a BLS_RJT after which the ndlp object unintentionally remains in the NLP_STE_UNUSED_NODE state forever. Add a check to conditionally remove ndlp's initial reference count when queuing a BLS response. If the initial reference is removed, then set the NLP_DROPPED flag to notify other code paths.
