[SCSI] libiscsi: fix iscsi cmdsn allocation
The cmdsn allocation and pdu transmit code can race, and we can end up sending a pdu with cmdsn 10 before a pdu with 5. The target will then fail the connection/session. This patch fixes the problem by delaying the cmdsn allocation until we are about to send the pdu. This also removes the xmitmutex. We were using the connection xmitmutex during error handling to handle races with mtask and ctask cleanup and completion. For ctasks we now have nice refcounting and for the mtask, if we hit the case where the mtask timesout and it is floating around somewhere in the driver, we end up dropping the session. And to handle session level cleanup, we use the xmit suspend bit along with scsi_flush_queue and the session lock to make sure that the xmit thread is not possibly transmitting a task while we are trying to kill it.
