[SCSI] zfcp: Defer resource allocation to first ccw_set_online call
So far, zfcp allocated all resources required for FCP
adapters/subchannels when the device was discovered in the ccw_probe
callback. If there are lots of unused FCP subchannels attached to a
system, this is a waste of resources. To alleviate this, defer the
resource allocation to the first call to ccw_set_online. To avoid
disruptions during possible following calls to ccw_set_offline and
then ccw_set_online, keep the adapter resources until the device is
finally being removed via ccw_remove. While doing this, also manage
the zfcp erp thread together with all other adapter resources in
zfcp_adapter_enqueue/dequeue.
