scsi: elx: libefc: Fix potential use after free in efc_nport_vport_del()
[ Upstream commit 2e4b02fad094976763af08fec2c620f4f8edd9ae ]
The kref_put() function will call nport->release if the refcount drops to
zero. The nport->release release function is _efc_nport_free() which frees
"nport". But then we dereference "nport" on the next line which is a use
after free. Re-order these lines to avoid the use after free.
