[PATCH] zfcp: fix use-after-free by not tracing WKA port open/close on failed send

The patch d27a7cb91960: "zfcp: trace on request for open and close of
WKA port" from Aug 10, 2016, leads to the following static checker
warning:

	drivers/s390/scsi/zfcp_fsf.c:1615 zfcp_fsf_open_wka_port()
	warn: 'req' was already freed.

drivers/s390/scsi/zfcp_fsf.c
  1609          zfcp_fsf_start_timer(req, ZFCP_FSF_REQUEST_TIMEOUT);
  1610          retval = zfcp_fsf_req_send(req);
  1611          if (retval)
  1612                  zfcp_fsf_req_free(req);
                                          ^^^
Freed.

  1613  out:
  1614          spin_unlock_irq(&qdio->req_q_lock);
  1615          if (req && !IS_ERR(req))
  1616                  zfcp_dbf_rec_run_wka("fsowp_1", wka_port, req->req_id);
                                                                  ^^^^^^^^^^^
Use after free.

  1617          return retval;
  1618  }

Same thing for zfcp_fsf_close_wka_port() as well.

Rather than relying on req being NULL (or ERR_PTR) for all cases where
we don't want to trace or should not trace,
simply check retval which is unconditionally initialized with -EIO != 0
and it can only become 0 on successful retval = zfcp_fsf_req_send(req).
With that we can also remove the then again unnecessary unconditional
initialization of req which was introduced with that earlier commit.

Applied to 4.10/scsi-fixes.
