4.2.8-ckt3 -stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

commit 26a99c19f810b2593410899a5b304b21b47428a6 upstream.

This patch is a iscsi-target specific bug-fix for a dead-lock
that can occur during explicit struct se_node_acl->acl_group
se_session deletion via configfs rmdir(2), when iscsi-target
time2retain timer is still active.

It changes iscsi-target to obtain se_portal_group->session_lock
internally using spin_in_locked() to check for the specific
se_node_acl configfs shutdown rmdir(2) case.

Note this patch is intended for stable, and the subsequent
v4.5-rc patch converts target_core_tpg.c to use proper
se_sess->sess_kref reference counting for both se_node_acl
deletion + se_node_acl->queue_depth se_session restart.
