3.6.11.5 stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Joern Engel [ Upstream commit ccf5ae83a6cf3d9cfe9a7038bfe7cd38ab03d5e1 ] It is possible for one thread to to take se_sess->sess_cmd_lock in core_tmr_abort_task() before taking a reference count on se_cmd->cmd_kref, while another thread in target_put_sess_cmd() drops se_cmd->cmd_kref before taking se_sess->sess_cmd_lock. This introduces kref_put_spinlock_irqsave() and uses it in target_put_sess_cmd() to close the race window.
