IB/isert: Fix incorrect release of isert connection
[ Upstream commit 699826f4e30ab76a62c238c86fbef7e826639c8d ]
The ib_isert module is releasing the isert connection both in
isert_wait_conn() handler as well as isert_free_conn() handler.
In isert_wait_conn() handler, it is expected to wait for iSCSI
session logout operation to complete. It should free the isert
connection only in isert_free_conn() handler.
When a bunch of iSER target is cleared, this issue can lead to
use-after-free memory issue as isert conn is twice released
Fixes: b02efbfc9a05 ("iser-target: Fix implicit termination of connections")
