Fix a couple of bugs related to attempting to start an fc_host with
incorrect 'parent' attributes. One consideration is a parent that is
not capable to support the vport operations and the other is providing
the incorrect scsi_host# for the parent from the nodedev-create used
to generate the wwnn,wwpn
Updated the documentation in order to add some more cautions I've find
during my investigation and make it clearer what must be provided.

New subject: [libvirt] [PATCH 1/2] storage: Check for valid fc_host parent at startup
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1160565
If a 'parent' attribute is provided for the fchost, then at startup
time check to ensure it is a vport capable scsi_host. If the parent
is not vport capable, then disallow the startup. The following is the
expected results:
error: Failed to start pool fc_pool
error: XML error: parent 'scsi_host2' specified for vHBA is not vport capable
where the XML for the fc_pool is:
<pool type='scsi'>
<name>fc_pool</name>
<source>
<adapter type='fc_host' parent='scsi_host2'
wwnn='5001a4aaf3ca174b' wwpn='5001a4a77192b864'/>
</source>
...
and 'scsi_host2' is not vport capable.
Providing an incorrect parent and a correct wwnn/wwpn could lead to
failures at shutdown (deleteVport) where the assumption is the parent
is for the fchost.
NOTE: If the provided wwnn/wwpn doesn't resolve to an existing scsi_host,
then we will be creating one with code (virManageVport) which
assumes the parent is vport capable.

New subject: [libvirt] [PATCH 2/2] storage: Ensure fc_host parent matches wwnn/wwpn
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1160565
The existing code assumed that the configuration of a 'parent' attribute
was correct for the createVport path. As it turns out, that may not be
the case which leads errors during the deleteVport path because the
wwnn/wwpn isn't associated with the parent.
With this change the following is reported:
error: Failed to start pool fc_pool_host3
error: XML error: Parent attribute 'scsi_host4' does not match parent
'scsi_host3' determined for the 'scsi_host16' wwnn/wwpn lookup.
for XML as follows:
<pool type='scsi'>
<name>fc_pool</name>
<source>
<adapter type='fc_host' parent='scsi_host4'
wwnn='5001a4aaf3ca174b' wwpn='5001a4a77192b864'/>
</source>
Where 'nodedev-dumpxml scsi_host16' provides:
<device>
<name>scsi_host16</name>
<path>/sys/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:04.0/0000:10:00.0/host3/vport-3:0-11/host16</path>
<parent>scsi_host3</parent>
<capability type='scsi_host'>
<host>16</host>
<unique_id>13</unique_id>
<capability type='fc_host'>
<wwnn>5001a4aaf3ca174b</wwnn>
<wwpn>5001a4a77192b864</wwpn>
...
The patch also adjusts the description of the storage pool to describe the
restrictions.

Don't bother reviewing this series - there's another related bug for
which I need to make some adjustments to 2/2 - so I'll just with that
fix as 3/3.
