As your comment above mentions, there is a known issue in target-core
when queue-full occurs repeatably and a se_cmd descriptor is explicitly
stopped via session shutdown, TMR ABORT_TASK / LUN_RESET or otherwise.
We hit this scenario a while back in iser-target with iw_cxgb hw, which
due to a separate bug was constantly triggering queue-full under load to
uncover this same case.
So I'm still considering the different approaches to address this in
target-core proper, but don't have a problem with merging this as-is as
it won't logically conflict with any of those changes.
