The target state machine only knows 'STARGET_DEL', which is set once scsi_target_destroy() is called. However, by that time the structure is still part of the __stargets list of the SCSI host, so any concurrent invocation will see this as a valid target, causing an access to freed memory. This patch adds an intermediate state 'STARGET_REMOVE', which is set as soon as the target is scheduled to be removed. With this any concurrent invocation will be able to skip these targets and avoid the above scenario.
