Subject: target: Fix reference leak in target_get_sess_cmd() error path
From: Bart Van Assche <bart.vanassche@xxxxxxxxxxx>
commit 7544e597343e2166daba3f32e4708533aa53c233 upstream.
This patch fixes a se_cmd->cmd_kref leak buf when se_sess->sess_tearing_down
is true within target_get_sess_cmd() submission path code.
This se_cmd reference leak can occur during active session shutdown when
ack_kref=1 is passed by target_submit_cmd_[map_sgls,tmr]() callers.
