Subject: [SCSI] bfa: Fix crash when symb name set for offline vport

commit 22a08538dca5c0630226f1c0c58dccd12e463d22 upstream.

This patch fixes a crash when tried setting symbolic name for an offline
vport through sysfs. Crash is due to uninitialized pointer lport->ns,
which gets initialized only on linkup (port online).
