James Smart 9ce1f2e12e nvmet-fc: cleanup nvmet add_port/remove_port
The current fc transport add_port routine validates that there is a
matching port to the target port config. It then takes a reference
on the targetport. The del_port removes the reference.

Unfortunately, if the LLDD undergoes a hw reset or driver unload and
wants to unreg the targetport, due to the reference, the targetport
effectively can't be removed. It requires the admin to remove the
port from the nvmet config first, which calls the del_port.
Note: it appears nvmetcli clear skips over the del_port call (I'm
not attempting to change that).

There's no real reason to take the reference. With FC, there is nothing
to enable or disable as the presence of the FC targetport implicitly
means its enabled, and removal of the targtport means its disabled.

Change add_port to simply validate and change remove_port to a noop.
No references are taken on the targetport.

Linux kernel
============

This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst

Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users.
These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

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.
