During rmmod, when dev_loss_tmo callback is called, an ndlp kref count is decremented twice. Once for SCSI transport registration and second to remove the initial node allocation kref. If there is also an NVMe transport registration, another reference count decrement is expected in lpfc_nvme_unregister_port(). Race conditions between the NVMe transport remoteport_delete and dev_loss_tmo callbacks sometimes results in premature ndlp object release resulting in use-after-free issues. Fix by not dropping the ndlp object in dev_loss_tmo callback with an outstanding NVMe transport registration. Inversely, mark the final NLP_DROPPED flag in lpfc_nvme_unregister_port when rmmod flag is set.

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.
