scsi: libiscsi: Allow sd_shutdown on bad transport

[ Upstream commit d754941 ]

If, for any reason, userland shuts down iscsi transport interfaces
before proper logouts - like when logging in to LUNs manually, without
logging out on server shutdown, or when automated scripts can't
umount/logout from logged LUNs - kernel will hang forever on its
sd_sync_cache() logic, after issuing the SYNCHRONIZE_CACHE cmd to all
still existent paths.

This happens because iscsi_eh_cmd_timed_out(), the transport layer
timeout helper, would tell the queue timeout function (scsi_times_out)
to reset the request timer over and over, until the session state is
back to logged in state. Unfortunately, during server shutdown, this
might never happen again.

Other option would be "not to handle" the issue in the transport
layer. That would trigger the error handler logic, which would also need
the session state to be logged in again.

Best option, for such case, is to tell upper layers that the command was
handled during the transport layer error handler helper, marking it as
DID_NO_CONNECT, which will allow completion and inform about the
problem.

After the session was marked as ISCSI_STATE_FAILED, due to the first
timeout during the server shutdown phase, all subsequent cmds will fail
to be queued, allowing upper logic to fail faster.
