This patch fixes a iser specific logout bug where early complete() of conn->conn_logout_comp in iscsit_close_connection() was causing isert_wait4logout() to complete too soon, triggering a use after free NULL pointer dereference of iscsi_conn memory. The complete() was originally added for traditional iscsi-target when a ISCSI_LOGOUT_OP failed in iscsi_target_rx_opcode(), but given iser-target does not wait in logout failure, this special case needs to be avoided.
