<nod>  Merged into target-pending.git/for-next.

For the record, this logic was originally required in order to get non
multi-homed SCTP endpoints with iscsi_target_mod to connect using
Core-iSCSI/SCTP initiators to Linux/SCTP, but it's obviously incorrect
for modern code.

Since we don't have iscsi_sctp for Open/iSCSI code implemented just yet
(mnc CC'ed), adding CC' to drop this incorrect code for stable.

Thank you,
