This patch addresses a long standing bug where the commit phase of COMPARE_AND_WRITE would result in a se_cmd->cmd_kref reference leak if se_cmd->scsi_status returned non SAM_STAT_GOOD. This would manifest first as a lost SCSI response, and eventual hung task during fabric driver logout or re-login, as existing shutdown logic waited for the COMPARE_AND_WRITE se_cmd->cmd_kref to reach zero. To address this bug, compare_and_write_post() has been changed to drop the incorrect !cmd->scsi_status conditional that was preventing *post_ret = 1 for being set during non SAM_STAT_GOOD status. This patch has been tested with SAM_STAT_CHECK_CONDITION status from normal target_complete_cmd() callback path, as well as the incoming __target_execute_cmd() submission failure path when se_cmd->execute_cmd() returns non zero status.
