[PATCH 2/2] target: Fix target_wait_for_sess_cmds breakage with active signals

With the addition of commit 00d909a107 in v4.19-rc, it incorrectly assumes no
signals will be pending for task_struct executing the normal session shutdown
and I/O quiesce code-path.

For example, iscsi-target and iser-target issue SIGINT to all kthreads as
part of session shutdown. This has been the behaviour since day one.

As-is when signals are pending with se_cmds active in se_sess->sess_cmd_list,
wait_event_interruptible_lock_irq_timeout() returns a negative number and
immediately kills the machine because of the do while (ret <= 0) loop that
was added in commit 00d909a107 to spin while backend I/O is taking any
amount of extended time (say 30 seconds) to complete.

Here's what it looks like in action with debug plus delayed backend I/O
completion:

[ 4951.909951] se_sess: 000000003e7e08fa before target_wait_for_sess_cmds
[ 4951.914600] target_wait_for_sess_cmds: signal_pending: 1
[ 4951.918015] wait_event_interruptible_lock_irq_timeout ret: -512 signal_pending: 1 loop count: 0

[ 4951.921944] wait_event_interruptible_lock_irq_timeout ret: -512 signal_pending: 1 loop count: 6
[ 4951.921944] wait_event_interruptible_lock_irq_timeout ret: -512 signal_pending: 1 loop count: 7
[ 4951.921944] wait_event_interruptible_lock_irq_timeout ret: -512 signal_pending: 1 loop count: 8
[ 4951.921944] wait_event_interruptible_lock_irq_timeout ret: -512 signal_pending: 1 loop count: 9

... followed by the usual RCU CPU stalls and deadlock.

There was never a case pre commit 00d909a107 where wait_for_complete(&se_cmd->cmd_wait_comp)
was able to be interruptted, so to address this for v4.19+ moving forward go ahead and
use wait_event_lock_irq_timeout() instead so new code works with all fabric drivers.

Also for commit 00d909a107, fix a minor regression in target_release_cmd_kref()
to only wake_up the new se_sess->cmd_list_wq only when shutdown has actually
been triggered via se_sess->sess_tearing_down.

Fixes: 00d909a107 ("scsi: target: Make the session shutdown code also wait for commands that are being aborted")
