[SCSI] scsi_transport_sas: add unindexed ports

Browse source

Some SAS HBAs don't want to go to the trouble of tracking port numbers,
so they'd simply like to say "add this port and give it a number".
This is especially beneficial from the hotplug point of view, since
tracking ports and the available number space can be a real pain.

The current implementation uses an incrementing number per expander to
add the port on.  However, since there can never be more ports than
there are phys, a later implementation will try to be more intelligent
about this.
