The kref handling in fc_rport is a mess. This patch updates
the kref handling according to the following rules:

- Take a reference whenever scheduling a workqueue
- Take a reference whenever an ELS command is send
- Drop the reference at the end of the workqueue function
- Drop the reference at the end of handling ELS replies
- Take a reference when allocating an rport
- Drop the reference when removing an rport
