This patch fixes a bug where when using iscsi offload we can free a
endpoint while userspace still thinks it's active. That then causes the
endpoint ID to be reused for a new connection's endpoint while userspace
still thinks the ID is for the original connection. Userspace will then
end up disconnecting a running connection's endpoint or trying to bind
to another connection's endpoint.
This bug is a regression added in:
Commit 23d6fefbb3f6 ("scsi: iscsi: Fix in-kernel conn failure handling")
where we added a in kernel ep_disconnect call to fix a bug in:
Commit 0ab710458da1 ("scsi: iscsi: Perform connection failure entirely in
kernel space")
where we would call stop_conn without having done ep_disconnect. This
early ep_disconnect call will then free the endpoint and it's ID while
userspace still thinks the ID is valid.
This patch fixes the early release of the ID by having the in kernel
recovery code keep a reference to the endpoint until userspace has called
into the kernel to finish cleaning up the endpoint/connection. It requires
the previous patch "scsi: iscsi: Release endpoint ID when its freed."
which moved the freeing of the ID until when the endpoint is released.
