Current cxgbit code does following in cxgbit_release_cmd() 
1. put_page() in case of PASSTHROUGH_SG_TO_MEM_NOALLOC.
2. dma_unmap_sg() DDP SGL.
3. free hw DDP resource.

If cxgbit does cleanup internally then lot of error handling code is
required in cxgbit driver, eg: - PDU with F bit set never arrives,
header digest errors etc.

Another approach to add target_core_fabrics_ops->unmap_sg() will not work
for ERL 2 case because for calling ->iscsit_unmap_sg() valid
cmd->conn pointer is required, in case of ERL 2 cmd->conn can be NULL,
but we can use this approach because in current cxgbit code I enable DDP
only for ERL 0 case, similiary I can add code
to enable PASSTHROUGH_SG_TO_MEM_NOALLOC only for ERL 0 case.
