    When repeatedly doing rmmod and modprobe on the ixgbe
    driver while FCoE is active in a VN2VN configuration,
    memory leaks would be discovered by kmemleak with the
    following backtrace:
    
    unreferenced object 0xffff88003d076000 (size 1024):
      comm "kworker/0:3", pid 2998, jiffies 4295436448 (age 1015.332s)
      hex dump (first 32 bytes):

    This patch stops the leak of the fc_rport_priv structure.
