I was trying to refactor iscsit_handle_scsi_cmd until the following
functions were called in order:

transport_init_se_cmd
target_get_sess_cmd
transport_lookup_cmd_lun
transport_generic_setup_cmd_from_cdb
core_alua_check_nonop_delay;
transport_handle_cdb_direct

and then these could all be replaced by one call to target_submit_cmd.

I got hung up on refactoring, while also keeping the error cases the
same as the existing code. Damn gotos threw me, and combining immediate
vs non-immediate paths. Also, there are some intermingled iscsi-only
calls that would need to be hoisted out of the 6-call sequence above.
