[PATCH] nvmet-fc: skip port entry rebinding if already bound to a target port

In nvmet_fc_portentry_rebind_tgt(), nvmet_fc_tgtlock serializes access to
nvmet_fc_portentry_list, but does not prevent multiple concurrent or
duplicate target port registrations from attempting to rebind to an
already-assigned port entry.

When pe->tgtport is non-NULL, WARN_ON() is triggered and pe->tgtport is
overwritten, leading to kernel warnings and leaking the reference count
acquired by nvmet_fc_tgtport_get().

Fix this by checking if pe->tgtport is already set before acquiring a
reference count and rebinding. If it is bound, skip the entry to prevent
clobbering existing bindings.
