This patch fixes a BUG() in iscsit_close_session() that could be triggered when iscsit_logout_post_handler() execution from within tx thread context was not run for more than SECONDS_FOR_LOGOUT_COMP (15 seconds), and the TCP connection didn't already close before then forcing tx thread context to automatically exit. This would manifest itself during explicit logout as: [33206.974254] 1 connection(s) still exist for iSCSI session to iqn.1993-08.org.debian:01:3f5523242179 [33206.980184] INFO: NMI handler (kgdb_nmi_handler) took too long to run: 2100.772 msecs [33209.078643] ------------[ cut here ]------------ [33209.078646] kernel BUG at drivers/target/iscsi/iscsi_target.c:4346! Normally when explicit logout attempt fails, the tx thread context exits and iscsit_close_connection() from rx thread context does the extra cleanup once it detects conn->conn_logout_remove has not been cleared by the logout type specific post handlers. To address this special case, if the logout post handler in tx thread context detects conn->tx_thread_active has already been cleared, simply return and exit in order for existing iscsit_close_connection() logic from rx thread context do failed logout cleanup.
