Subject: [PATCH 3.13.y-ckt 138/156] target: Fix virtual LUN=0 target_configure_device failure OOPs

3.13.11-ckt19 -stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Nicholas Bellinger <nab@...ux-iscsi.org>

commit 5f7da044f8bc1cfb21c962edf34bd5699a76e7ae upstream.

This patch fixes a NULL pointer dereference triggered by a late
target_configure_device() -> alloc_workqueue() failure that results
in target_free_device() being called with DF_CONFIGURED already set,
which subsequently OOPses in destroy_workqueue() code.

Currently this only happens at modprobe target_core_mod time when
core_dev_setup_virtual_lun0() -> target_configure_device() fails,
and the explicit target_free_device() gets called.

To address this bug originally introduced by commit 0fd97ccf45, go
ahead and move DF_CONFIGURED to end of target_configure_device()
code to handle this special failure case.
