I can't without doing an unreasonably large amount of work on drivers that
I have no way to test. Some of the drivers have the se_cmd already; some
of them don't. I'd be happy to introduce a common function for freeing
a tag.

It's what the current code did:

- if (signal_pending_state(state, current)) {
- tag = -ERESTARTSYS;
- break;
- }

and the current callers literally indicate that they want signals:

drivers/infiniband/ulp/isert/ib_isert.c: cmd = iscsit_allocate_cmd(conn, TASK_INTERRUPTIBLE);
drivers/target/iscsi/iscsi_target.c: cmd = iscsit_allocate_cmd(conn, TASK_INTERRUPTIBLE);

(etc)
