This patch drops legacy active_ts_list usage within iscsi_target_tq.c code. It was originally used to track the active thread sets during iscsi-target shutdown, and is no longer used by modern upstream code. Two people have reported list corruption using traditional iscsi-target and iser-target with the following backtrace, that appears to be related to iscsi_thread_set->ts_list being used across both active_ts_list and inactive_ts_list.
