When the bnx2fc driver was changed to read the npiv table from
nvram, the stack of the __bnx2fc_enable function gained an
additional 1028 byte structure that gcc rightfully warns about:
drivers/scsi/bnx2fc/bnx2fc_fcoe.c: In function '__bnx2fc_enable':
drivers/scsi/bnx2fc/bnx2fc_fcoe.c:2134:1: warning: the frame size of 1128 bytes
is larger than 1024 bytes [-Wframe-larger-than=]
In order to avoid a possible kernel stack overflow and to get rid
of the warning, this changes the function to use a dynamic allocation
of the structure using kzalloc.

Fixes: 2971ff67bd3 ("bnx2fc: Read npiv table from nvram and create vports.")

The original patch was merged through netdev along with the respective
ethernet driver changes, but this should probably go through the scsi
tree, as no ethernet changes are involved.
