Mike Christie 14936b1ed2 scsi: libiscsi: Fix iscsi_task use after free()
The following bug was reported and debugged by wubo40@huawei.com:

When testing kernel 4.18 version, NULL pointer dereference problem occurs
in iscsi_eh_cmd_timed_out() function.

I think this bug in the upstream is still exists.

The analysis reasons are as follows:

1) For some reason, I/O command did not complete within the timeout
   period. The block layer timer works, call scsi_times_out() to handle I/O
   timeout logic.  At the same time the command just completes.

2) scsi_times_out() call iscsi_eh_cmd_timed_out() to process timeout logic.
   Although there is an NULL judgment for the task, the task has not been
   released yet now.

3) iscsi_complete_task() calls __iscsi_put_task(). The task reference count
   reaches zero, the conditions for free task is met, then
   iscsi_free_task() frees the task, and sets sc->SCp.ptr = NULL. After
   iscsi_eh_cmd_timed_out() passes the task judgment check, there can still
   be NULL dereference scenarios.

}

To prevent this, we take a ref to the cmd under the back (completion) lock
so if the completion side were to call iscsi_complete_task() on the task
while the timer/eh paths are not holding the back_lock it will not be freed
from under us.

Note that this requires the previous patch, "scsi: libiscsi: Drop
taskqueuelock" because bnx2i sleeps in its cleanup_task callout if the cmd
is aborted. If the EH/timer and completion path are racing we don't know
which path will do the last put. The previous patch moved the operations we
needed to do under the forward lock to cleanup_queued_task.  Once that has
run we can drop the forward lock for the cmd and bnx2i no longer has to
worry about if the EH, timer or completion path did the ast put and if the
forward lock is held or not since it won't be.

README

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
