[SCSI] qla2xxx: Correct synchronization of software/firmware fcport states.

Greg Wettstein (greg@enjellic.com) noted:

	http://article.gmane.org/gmane.linux.scsi/43409



on a reboot of a previously recognized SCST target, the initiator
driver would be unable to re-recognize the device as a target.
It turns out that prior to the SCST software reloading and
returning it's "target-capable" abilities in the PRLI payload,
the HBA would be re-initialized as an initiator-only type port.
Since initiators typically classify themselves as an FCP-2
capable device, both software and firmware do not perform an
explicit logout during port-loss.  Unfortunately, as can be seen
by the failure case, when the port (now target-capable) returns,
firmware performs an ADISC without a follow-on PRLI, leaving
stale 'initiator-only' data in the firmware's port database.

Correct the discrepancy by performing the explicit logout during
the transport's request to terminate-rport-io, thus synchronizing
port states and ensuring a follow-on PRLI is performed.
