So this isn't the first IO, it's exactly the 2nd IO. I'm hitting
BUG_ON(se_cmd->se_tfo || se_cmd->se_sess) in target_submit_cmd_map_sgls().

I'm assuming the se_cmd is being reused due to percpu ida allocator, and
the code must be missing something to clean up the se_cmd sufficiently
once we're done with it.

At this point I'm out of my depth going through the target core, so I'd
appreciate some pointers to get any further!

Thanks,
Chris
