For some reason, during reboot the system, iscsi.service failed to logout all sessions. kernel will hang forever on its sd_sync_cache() logic, after issuing the SYNCHRONIZE_CACHE cmd to all still existent paths.

The iscsi_eh_cmd_timed_out() function add system_state judgment, and will return BLK_EH_DONE and mark the result as DID_NO_CONNECT when system_state is not SYSTEM_RUNNING, To tell upper layers that the command was handled during the transport layer error handler helper. The scsi Mid Layer timeout handler function(scsi_times_out) will be abort the cmd if the scsi LLD timeout handler return BLK_EH_DONE. if abort cmd failed, will enter scsi EH logic. Scsi EH will do reset target logic, if reset target failed, Will call iscsi_eh_session_reset() function to drop the session. The iscsi_eh_session_reset function will wait for a relogin, session termination from userspace, or a recovery/replacement timeout. But at this time, the app iscsid has exited, and the session was marked as ISCSI_STATE_FAILED, So the SCSI EH process will never be scheduled back again.
