Subject: [PATCH] iser-target: Fix REJECT CM event use-after-free OOPs
This patch fixes a bug in iser-target code where the REJECT CM event
handler code currently performs a isert_put_conn() for the final
isert_conn->kref put, while iscsi_np process context is still blocked
in isert_get_login_rx().
Once isert_get_login_rx() is awoking due to login timeout, iscsi_np
process context will attempt to invoke iscsi_target_login_sess_out()
to cleanup iscsi_conn as expected, and calls isert_wait_conn() +
isert_free_conn() which triggers the use-after-free OOPs.
To address this bug, move the kref_get_unless_zero() call from
isert_connected_handler() into isert_connect_request() immediately
preceeding isert_rdma_accept() to ensure the CM handler cleanup
paths and isert_free_conn() are always operating with two refs.
