scsi: lpfc: Protect vport fc_nodes list with an explicit spin lock

Browse source 
In attempt to reduce the amount of unnecessary shost_lock acquisitions in
the lpfc driver, replace shost_lock with an explicit fc_nodes_list_lock
spinlock when accessing vport->fc_nodes lists.  Although vport memory
region is owned by shost->hostdata, it is driver private memory and an
explicit fc_nodes list lock for fc_nodes list mutations is more appropriate
than locking the entire shost.
