This patch fixes a long-standing bug in iscsit_build_conn_drop_async_message() where during ERL=2 connection recovery, a bogus conn_p pointer could end up being used to send the ISCSI_OP_ASYNC_EVENT + DROPPING_CONNECTION notifying the initiator that cmd->logout_cid has failed. The bug was manifesting itself as an OOPs in iscsit_allocate_cmd() with a bogus conn_p pointer in iscsit_build_conn_drop_async_message().
