[SCSI] scsi_transport_fc: Fix deadlock during fc_remove_host

Creating and destroying fcoe interface in a tight loop leads to a system
deadlock with the following call traces:

fc_remove_host() waits for flushing the workqueue, but it is stuck at flushing
the first work. The first work doesnt complete, because it is waiting for async
layer to complete the IOs. The async layer cannot complete the IO as the
terminate_rport_io for the second work was not called, which will be called
only when the first work completes. Hence the deadlock.  To resolve this
deadlock, the workqueue allocation has been modified from
create_singlethread_workqueue() to alloc_workqueue().

In addition, fc_terminate_rport_io() should be called before the
scsi_flush_work() to avoid the similar deadlock as above.

scsi fc alloc queue. move terminate rport io before flush
