When userspace restarts during boot or upgrades it won't know about the offload driver's endpoint and connection mappings. iscsid will start by cleaning up the old session by doing a stop_conn call. Later if we are able to create a new connection, we cleanup the old endpoint during the binding stage. The problem is that if we do stop_conn before doing the ep_disconnect call offload drivers can still be executing IO. We then might free tasks from the under the card/driver. This moves the ep_disconnect call to before we do the stop_conn call for this case. It will then work and look like a normal recovery/cleanup procedure from the driver's point of view.
