In order to create or activate a new node, lpfc_els_unsol_buffer() invokes
lpfc_nlp_init() or lpfc_enable_node() or lpfc_nlp_get(), all of them will
return a reference of the specified lpfc_nodelist object to "ndlp" with
increased refcnt.
When lpfc_els_unsol_buffer() returns, local variable "ndlp" becomes
invalid, so the refcount should be decreased to keep refcount balanced.
The reference counting issue happens in one exception handling path of
lpfc_els_unsol_buffer(). When "ndlp" in DEV_LOSS, the function forgets to
decrease the refcnt increased by lpfc_nlp_init() or lpfc_enable_node() or
lpfc_nlp_get(), causing a refcnt leak.
Fix this issue by calling lpfc_nlp_put() when "ndlp" in DEV_LOSS.
