A link bounce to a slow fabric may observe FDISC response delays lasting longer than devloss tmo. Current logic decrements the final fabric node kref during a devloss tmo event. This results in a NULL ptr dereference crash if the FDISC completes for that fabric node after devloss tmo. Fix by adding the NLP_IN_RECOV_POST_DEV_LOSS flag, which is set when devloss tmo triggers and we've noticed that fabric node recovery has already started or finished in between the time lpfc_dev_loss_tmo_callbk queues lpfc_dev_loss_tmo_handler. If fabric node recovery succeeds, then the driver reverses the devloss tmo marked kref put with a kref get. If fabric node recovery fails, then the final kref put relies on the ELS timing out or the REG_LOGIN cmpl routine.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
