Nicholas Bellinger 01d4d67355 target: Fix multi-session dynamic se_node_acl double free OOPs
This patch addresses a long-standing bug with multi-session
(eg: iscsi-target + iser-target) se_node_acl dynamic free
withini transport_deregister_session().

This bug is caused when a storage endpoint is configured with
demo-mode (generate_node_acls = 1 + cache_dynamic_acls = 1)
initiators, and initiator login creates a new dynamic node acl
and attaches two sessions to it.

After that, demo-mode for the storage instance is disabled via
configfs (generate_node_acls = 0 + cache_dynamic_acls = 0) and
the existing dynamic acl is never converted to an explicit ACL.

The end result is dynamic acl resources are released twice when
the sessions are shutdown in transport_deregister_session().

If the storage instance is not changed to disable demo-mode,
or the dynamic acl is converted to an explict ACL, or there
is only a single session associated with the dynamic ACL,
the bug is not triggered.

To address this big, move the release of dynamic se_node_acl
memory into target_complete_nacl() so it's only freed once
when se_node_acl->acl_kref reaches zero.

(Drop unnecessary list_del_init usage - HCH)

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

This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst

Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users.
These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

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.
