libiscsi: Fix host busy blocking during connection teardown



In case of hw iscsi offload, an host can have N-number of active
connections. There can be IO's running on some connections which
make host->host_busy always TRUE. Now if logout from a connection
is tried then the code gets into an infinite loop as host->host_busy
is always TRUE.

 iscsi_conn_teardown(....)
 {
   .........
    /*
     * Block until all in-progress commands for this connection
     * time out or fail.
     */
     for (;;) {
      spin_lock_irqsave(session->host->host_lock, flags);
      if (!atomic_read(&session->host->host_busy)) { /* OK for ERL == 0 */
	      spin_unlock_irqrestore(session->host->host_lock, flags);
              break;
      }
     spin_unlock_irqrestore(session->host->host_lock, flags);
     msleep_interruptible(500);
     iscsi_conn_printk(KERN_INFO, conn, "iscsi conn_destroy(): "
                 "host_busy %d host_failed %d\n",
	          atomic_read(&session->host->host_busy),
	          session->host->host_failed);

	................
	...............
     }
  }

This is not an issue with software-iscsi/iser as each cxn is a separate
host.

Fix:
Acquiring eh_mutex in iscsi_conn_teardown() before setting
session->state = ISCSI_STATE_TERMINATE.
