[SCSI] fcoe: Allocate fcoe_ctlr with fcoe_interface, not as a member
Currently the fcoe_ctlr associated with an interface is allocated
as a member of struct fcoe_interface. This causes problems when
attempting to use the new fcoe_sysfs APIs which allow us to allocate
the fcoe_interface as private data to the fcoe_ctlr_device instance.
The problem is that libfcoe wants to be able use pointer math to find a
fcoe_ctlr's fcoe_ctlr_device as well as finding a fcoe_ctlr_device's
assocated fcoe_ctlr. To do this we need to allocate the
fcoe_ctlr_device, with private data for the LLD. The private data
contains the fcoe_ctlr and its private data is the fcoe_interface.
This patch only allocates the fcoe_interface with the fcoe_ctlr, the
fcoe_ctlr_device will be added in a later patch, which will complete
the below diagram-
+------------------+
| fcoe_ctlr_device |
+------------------+
| fcoe_ctlr |
+------------------+
| fcoe_interface |
+------------------+
This prep work will allow us to go from a fcoe_ctlr_device instance
to its fcoe_ctlr as well as from a fcoe_ctlr to its fcoe_ctlr_device
once the fcoe_sysfs API is in use (later patches in this series).
