We would need more details. We can hit that normally when the target driver
waits for stuck IO to complete before calling transport_deregister_session.
I think if you hit the put bug, then we would have seen the refcount warning
in refcount.h fire before the hung task because we do an extra put.
Did the user switch to ACLs? Did you see my comment about it looks like there
is a bug if the user were to add an acl while dynamic was used for the same
initiatorname. In that case, we do not do the put to match the one taken
core_tpg_check_initiator_node_acl. In that case we would hit your hang since
no one ever does the last put.
