So this was originally used as a informational counter for active
se_dev_entry commands, but as you've noticed it's no longer used and can
be removed.

Yes. core_tpg_del_initiator_node_acl() will call TFO->close_session()
first to stop active sessions before core_free_device_list_for_node().

Depending on the fabric, the sessions may already have been all shutdown
for the endpoint during TPG disable (eg: tcm_qla2xxx) before NodeACLs
are being removed, or may still be active and are shutdown individually
in core_tpg_del_initiator_node_acl() (eg: iscsi_target)
