target: Obtain se_node_acl->acl_kref during get_initiator_node_acl
commit 21aaa23b upstream. This patch addresses a long standing race where obtaining se_node_acl->acl_kref in __transport_register_session() happens a bit too late, and leaves open the potential for core_tpg_del_initiator_node_acl() to hit a NULL pointer dereference. Instead, take ->acl_kref in core_tpg_get_initiator_node_acl() while se_portal_group->acl_node_mutex is held, and move the final target_put_nacl() from transport_deregister_session() into transport_free_session() so that fabric driver login failure handling using the modern method to still work as expected. Also, update core_tpg_get_initiator_node_acl() to take an extra reference for dynamically generated acls for demo-mode, before returning to fabric caller. Also update iscsi-target sendtargets special case handling to use target_tpg_has_node_acl() when checking if demo_mode_discovery == true during discovery lookup. Note the existing wait_for_completion(&acl->acl_free_comp) in core_tpg_del_initiator_node_acl() does not change.
