Subject: [PATCH 3.16.y-ckt 061/144] iscsi-target: Avoid early conn_logout_comp for iser connections

3.16.7-ckt10 -stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

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

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

commit f068fbc82e7696d67b1bb8189306865bedf368b6 upstream.

This patch fixes a iser specific logout bug where early complete()
of conn->conn_logout_comp in iscsit_close_connection() was causing
isert_wait4logout() to complete too soon, triggering a use after
free NULL pointer dereference of iscsi_conn memory.

The complete() was originally added for traditional iscsi-target
when a ISCSI_LOGOUT_OP failed in iscsi_target_rx_opcode(), but given
iser-target does not wait in logout failure, this special case needs
to be avoided.
