When a dev_loss_tmo event occurs, an ndlp lock is taken before checking
nlp_flag for NLP_DROPPED.  There is an attempt to restore the ndlp lock
when exiting the if statement, but the nlp_put kref could be the final
decrement causing a use-after-free memory access on a released ndlp object.

Instead of trying to reacquire the ndlp lock after checking nlp_flag, just
return after calling nlp_put.

We have a very reproducible test case that hit the problem this fixes.
