target: Check sess_tearing_down in target_get_sess_cmd()

Target core code assumes that target_splice_sess_cmd_list() has set
sess_tearing_down and moved the list of pending commands to
sess_wait_list, no more commands will be added to the session; if any
are added, nothing keeps the se_session from being freed while the
command is still in flight, which e.g. leads to use-after-free of
se_cmd->se_sess in target_release_cmd_kref().

To enforce this invariant, put a check of sess_tearing_down inside of
sess_cmd_lock in target_get_sess_cmd(); any checks before this are
racy and can lead to the use-after-free described above.  For example,
the qla_target check in qlt_do_work() checks sess_tearing_down from
work thread context but then drops all locks before calling
target_submit_cmd() (as it must, since that is a sleeping function).

However, since no locks are held, anything can happen with respect to
the session it has looked up -- although it does correctly get
sess_kref within its lock, so the memory won't be freed while
target_submit_cmd() is actually running, nothing stops eg an ACL from
being dropped and calling ->shutdown_session() (which calls into
target_splice_sess_cmd_list()) before we get to target_get_sess_cmd().
Once this happens, the se_session memory can be freed as soon as
target_submit_cmd() returns and qlt_do_work() drops its reference,
even though we've just added a command to sess_cmd_list.

To prevent this use-after-free, check sess_tearing_down inside of
sess_cmd_lock right before target_get_sess_cmd() adds a command to
sess_cmd_list; this is synchronized with target_splice_sess_cmd_list()
so that every command is either waited for or not added to the queue.

(nab: Keep target_submit_cmd() returning void for now..)
