[PATCH] nvmet-fc: skip hostport ops when the LLDD has no host handle

From: TanZheng <tanzheng at kylinos.cn>

nvmet_fc_alloc_hostport() returns NULL when the LLDD passes a NULL
hosthandle. That is not an ERR_PTR, so nvmet_fc_alloc_target_assoc()
keeps the association and leaves assoc->hostport NULL.

Disconnect, association free and host invalidation then dereference
assoc->hostport. The disconnect comment already says an older LLDD
with no host handle should not send an LS.

Treat a missing hostport like a missing ls_req: do not send the
disconnect LS, do not put the hostport, and skip that association in
nvmet_fc_invalidate_host().
