Subject[REGRESSION] qla2xxx: tape drive not removed after unplug FC cable
#regzbot introduced: 44c57f205876

I have several different QLogic FC HBAs (8, 16, 32 Gbps) and several
different FC LTO tape drives (IBM Ultrium 8 & 9).  When I plug in the FC
cable, the tape drive shows up as a SCSI device as expected.  With older
kernels, when I unplug the FC cable, the tape drive SCSI device would
disappear after about 30 seconds.  But with newer kernels (including
5.18), when I unplug the FC cable, the tape drive SCSI device never
disappears.  I have bisected the change in behavior to the following
commit in kernel 5.15:

44c57f205876 ("scsi: qla2xxx: Changes to support FCP2 Target")

This commit has been backported to various -stable kernels, so they are
also affected.

When testing with two different tape drives:
1) Plug FC cable into tape drive A.  Tape drive A shows up as a SCSI device.
2) Unplug FC cable; wait 60 seconds.  Tape drive A does not disappear.
3) Plug FC cable into tape drive B.  Tape drive A disappears 30 seconds
later, but tape drive B does not show up.
4) Unplug FC cable and plug it back into tape drive B.  Tape drive B
shows up as a SCSI device.

So I can actually make a tape drive disappear by plugging the cable into
a different tape drive, but then I have to reseat the cable again to
make the new tape drive show up.
