І think the comment is highly confusing as it's about one of the
callers, while the function has many.

I'd suggest you move it to core_tpg_check_initiator_node_acl instead.

Also I think iscsit_build_sendtargets_response will need a put on
the nacl, otherwise you'll leak references.

While we're at it - is there any god reason to keep acl_pr_ref_count
as a separate entity from acl_kref?

Whats the point of zeroing se_node_acl just before freeing se_sess?

The comment neds to move to transport_free_session.  Or maybe just removed
given that it's obvious from the code flow.
