[SCSI] fcoe: set default FIP mode as FIP_MODE_FABRIC

Since sometimes current FIP_MODE_AUTO mode falls back to non-FIP
mode while DCB link still getting ready in fabric mode with
its peer switch, it falls back after few libfc flogi retries
and that is not we want while working with FIP enabled
switches in FABRIC mode, therefore sets default as FIP_MODE_FABRIC
as discussed and agreed before in this mail thread
