firewire: fw-sbp2: use device generation, not card generation

There was a small window where a login or reconnect job could use an
already updated card generation with an outdated node ID.  We have to
use the fw_device.generation here, not the fw_card.generation, because
the generation must never be newer than the node ID when we emit a
transaction.  This cannot be guaranteed with fw_card.generation.

Furthermore, the target's and initiator's node IDs can be obtained from
fw_device and fw_card.  Dereferencing their underlying topology objects
is not necessary.

Verified in concert with subsequent memory barriers patch to fix 'giving
up on config rom' issues on multiple system and drive combinations that
were previously affected.
