[PATCH 0/1] Fix crash when failing to connect to FC NVMe target

[Ewan D. Milne]

From: "Ewan D. Milne" <emilne at redhat.com>

This patch fixes the following crash, caused because nvmf_create_ctrl()
calls nvmf_free_options() when an error is returned from nvme_fc_create_ctrl().

However, if we get as far as calling nvme_fc_create_assocation() and it returns
an error, we have an nvme_fc_ctrl kobject with a pointer to the nvmf_ctrl_options,
and nvmf_free_options() will be called upon object destruction.

Since the caller allocated the nvmf_ctrl_options, and frees it on error,
ensure that the kobject will not free the options unless a good status is
returned from the ops->create_ctrl() call.
