Maurizio Lombardi 57c46e9f33 scsi: target: fix hang when multiple threads try to destroy the same iscsi session
A number of hangs have been reported against the target driver; they are
due to the fact that multiple threads may try to destroy the iscsi session
at the same time. This may be reproduced for example when a "targetcli
iscsi/iqn.../tpg1 disable" command is executed while a logout operation is
underway.

When this happens, two or more threads may end up sleeping and waiting for
iscsit_close_connection() to execute "complete(session_wait_comp)".  Only
one of the threads will wake up and proceed to destroy the session
structure, the remaining threads will hang forever.

Note that if the blocked threads are somehow forced to wake up with
complete_all(), they will try to free the same iscsi session structure
destroyed by the first thread, causing double frees, memory corruptions
etc...

With this patch, the threads that want to destroy the iscsi session will
increase the session refcount and will set the "session_close" flag to 1;
then they wait for the driver to close the remaining active connections.
When the last connection is closed, iscsit_close_connection() will wake up
all the threads and will wait for the session's refcount to reach zero;
when this happens, iscsit_close_connection() will destroy the session
structure because no one is referencing it anymore.
