Subject: [PATCH v3] scsi: avoid potential deadloop in iscsi_if_rx func

From: Bo Wu <wubo40@...wei.com>

In iscsi_if_rx func, after receiving one request through 
iscsi_if_recv_msg func, iscsi_if_send_reply will be called to 
try to reply the request in do-loop. If the return of iscsi_if_send_reply
func return -EAGAIN all the time, one deadloop will occur.
 
For example, a client only send msg without calling recvmsg func, 
then it will result in the watchdog soft lockup. 
The details are given as follows,

Details of the special case which can cause deadloop:

sock_fd = socket(AF_NETLINK, SOCK_RAW, NETLINK_ISCSI);  
retval = bind(sock_fd, (struct sock addr*) & src_addr, sizeof(src_addr); 
while (1) { 
	state_msg = sendmsg(sock_fd, &msg, 0); 
	//Note: recvmsg(sock_fd, &msg, 0) is not processed here.
} 	 
close(sock_fd);

Here, we add one limit of retry times in do-loop to avoid the deadloop.
