Subject: target: Fix target_release_cmd_kref shutdown comp leak

From: Himanshu Madhani <[email protected]>

commit 5e47f1985d7107331c3f64fb3ec83d66fd73577e upstream.

This patch fixes an active I/O shutdown bug for fabric drivers using target_wait_for_sess_cmds(), where se_cmd descriptor shutdown would result in hung tasks waiting indefinitely for se_cmd->cmd_wait_comp to complete().

To address this bug, drop the incorrect list_del_init() usage in target_wait_for_sess_cmds() and always complete() during se_cmd target_release_cmd_kref() put, in order to let caller invoke the final fabric release callback into se_cmd->se_tfo->release_cmd() code.
