[PATCH v2 10/15] nvmet-fc: take tgtport reference only once

[Daniel Wagner]

The reference counting code can be simplified. Instead taking a tgtport
refrerence at the beginning of nvmet_fc_alloc_hostport and put it back
if not a new hostport object is allocated, only take it when a new
hostport object is allocated.
