Description
===========
1. This Kernel panic could be due to a timing issue when there is a
   race between the sync thread and the initiator was processing of
   a login response from the target. The session re-open can be invoked
   from two places:
    a. Sessions sync thread when the iscsid restart
    b. From iscsid through iscsi error handler
2. The session reopen sequence is as follows in user-space
	a. Disconnect the connection
	b. Then send the stop connection request to the kernel
	   which releases the connection (releases the socket)
	c. Queues the reopen for 2 seconds delay
	d. Once the delay expires, create the TCP connection again by
           calling the connect() call
	e. Poll for the connection
	f. When poll is successful i.e when the TCP connection is
	   established, it performs:
	       i. Creation of session and connection data structures
	      ii. Bind the connection to the session. This is the place
		  where we assign the sock to tcp_sw_conn->sock
             iii. Sets parameters like target name, persistent address
              iv. Creates the login pdu
	       v. Sends the login pdu to kernel
	      vi. Returns to the main loop to process further events.
	          The kernel then sends the login request over to the
	          target node
	g. Once login response with success is received, it enters full
	   feature phase and sets the negotiable parameters like
	   max_recv_data_length,max_transmit_length, data_digest etc.
3. While setting the negotiable parameters by calling
   "iscsi_session_set_neg_params()", kernel panicked as sock was NULL

What happened here is
---------------------
1. Before initiator received the login response mentioned in above
   point 2.f.v, another reopen request was sent from the error
   handler/sync session for the same session, as the initiator utils
   was in main loop to process further events (as mentioned in point
   2.f.vi above).
2. While processing this reopen, it stopped the connection which
   released the socket and queued this connection and at this point
   of time the login response was received for the earlier on

Fix
---
1. Add new connection state ISCSI_CONN_BOUND in "enum iscsi_connection
   _state"
2. Set the connection state value to ISCSI_CONN_DOWN upon
   iscsi_if_ep_disconnect() and iscsi_if_stop_conn()
3. Set the connection state to the newly created value ISCSI_CONN_BOUND
   after bind connection (transport->bind_conn())
4. In iscsi_set_param, return -ENOTCONN if the connection state is not
   either ISCSI_CONN_BOUND or ISCSI_CONN_UP

The else should go on the line above

} else

and I'm not 100% sure but some people prefer:

} else {
	return -ENOTCONN;
}

because the first chunk has {}s so this balances it.

I actually prefer brackets all the time :O, so I'm good with that too.
