Fix management communication issues by creating character device to take a reference on the driver (CR 126082)

The management userspace applications have no way to take a lock on the driver
to prevent it from unloading. To remedy this a character device is created that
will up the reference count on lpfc by one when it is opened and decrement it by
one when it is closed.
