The following patches modify the fcoe module, primarily to prepare for
supporting NPIV and more than one libfc lport instance per network interface.
These include changes to address review feedback from the original posting.
The biggest of those changes is in the use of the mutex around create and
destroy, it is now also held while lports are destroyed from the module exit
function. Also there are checks added to create and destroy to ensure that
the fcoe module has been initialized and is not about to be removed, as the
module parameter sysfs files are still writable while the exit function is
being run.
