A use-after-free problem like below:

BUG: KASAN: use-after-free in scsi_target_reap+0x6c/0x70

Workqueue: scsi_wq_1 __iscsi_unbind_session [scsi_transport_iscsi]
Call trace:
dump_backtrace+0x0/0x320
show_stack+0x24/0x30
dump_stack+0xdc/0x128

worker_thread+0x370/0xf90
kthread+0x2a4/0x320
ret_from_fork+0x10/0x18

The problem is caused by a concurrency scenario:

T0: delete target
// echo 1 > /sys/devices/platform/host1/session1/target1:0:0/1:0:0:1/delete
T1: logout
// iscsiadm -m node --logout

T0 T1
sdev_store_delete
scsi_remove_device
device_remove_file
__scsi_remove_device
__iscsi_unbind_session
scsi_remove_target
spin_lock_irqsave
list_for_each_entry
scsi_target_reap
// starget->reap_ref 1 -> 0
kref_get(&starget->reap_ref);
// warn use-after-free.
spin_unlock_irqrestore
scsi_target_reap_ref_release
scsi_target_destroy
... // delete starget
scsi_target_reap
// UAF

When T0 reduces the reference count to 0, but has not been released,
T1 can still enter list_for_each_entry, and then kref_get reports UAF.

Fix it by using kref_get_unless_zero() to check for a reference count of
0.
