[PATCH v4 06/12] nvmet-fc: hold reference on hostport match

From: Daniel Wagner
Date: Tue Jan 30 2024 - 04:52:59 EST


The hostport data structure is shared between the association, this why
we keep track of the users via a refcount. So we should not decrement
the refcount on a match and free the hostport several times.

Reported by KASAN.
