[PATCH blktests v2] nvme/071: add a test for fcloop LS request use-after-free

Delete the fcloop remote port and then the target port while an
association is being deleted. The Disconnect Association LS is completed
from a work item that can run after nvmet_fc_unregister_targetport() freed
the pending request, which KASAN reports as a use-after-free in
fcloop_tport_lsrqst_work().
Kernel fix: "nvmet-fc: flush nvmet_wq twice on targetport unregister"

Changes in v2 (thanks Shin'ichiro for the review):
- Note the kernel fix's commit title in the file header.
- local -a ports, and use _get_fc_host_port() instead of reading
ports_to_hosts directly.
- Connect with --ctrl-loss-tmo 0. Without it, the host can spend up to
NVMF_DEF_CTRL_LOSS_TMO (600s) retrying reconnect after we pull the
remote port, which is likely the hang you saw; disconnecting it
cleanly then has to wait on that reconnect state first.
- Drop the swept delay before pulling the ports. I could not tell it
apart from a fixed "sleep 0" here either (KASAN UAF + list_debug BUG,
both with and without it), so it wasn't earning its complexity.
- v1: https://lore.kernel.org/linux-block/20260921145659.17151-1-ngocthang2710.1999@gmail.com/
