3.16.50-rc1 review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

commit 978d13d60c34818a41fc35962602bdfa5c03f214 upstream.

This patch fixes a bug associated with iscsit_reset_np_thread()
that can occur during parallel configfs rmdir of a single iscsi_np
used across multiple iscsi-target instances, that would result in
hung task(s) similar to below where configfs rmdir process context
was blocked indefinately waiting for iscsi_np->np_restart_comp
to finish:

[ 6726.112076] INFO: task dcp_proxy_node_:15550 blocked for more than 120 seconds.

It would happen because each iscsit_reset_np_thread() sets state
to ISCSI_NP_THREAD_RESET, sends SIGINT, and then blocks waiting
for completion on iscsi_np->np_restart_comp.

However, if iscsi_np was active processing a login request and
more than a single iscsit_reset_np_thread() caller to the same
iscsi_np was blocked on iscsi_np->np_restart_comp, iscsi_np
kthread process context in __iscsi_target_login_thread() would
flush pending signals and only perform a single completion of
np->np_restart_comp before going back to sleep within transport
specific iscsit_transport->iscsi_accept_np code.

To address this bug, add a iscsi_np->np_reset_count and update
__iscsi_target_login_thread() to keep completing np->np_restart_comp
until ->np_reset_count has reached zero.
