Commit 7e091add9c43 "nvme-auth: update sc_c in host response" added
the sc_c variable to the dhchap queue context structure which is
appropriately set during negotiate and then used in the host response.

This breaks secure concat connections with a Linux target as the target
code wasn't updated at the same time. This patch fixes this by adding a
new sc_c variable to the host hash calculations.

I've already send a similar patch for this, which actually should already have been merged.
Can you check if that works for you?

Cheers,

Hannes
