Commit Message

This lets iscsi_tcp and ib_iser operate in multiple namespaces.

The logic to store the network namespace during virtual host creation
(due to the way transport-class object setup callbacks function) is in
libiscsi, and shared between iscsi_tcp and ib_iser.

There are a few changes to do so:

* Distinguish between bound and unbound session creation with different
  transport functions, instead of just checking for a NULL endpoint.

This let's the transport code pass the network namespace into the
unbound session creation of iscsi_tcp, without changing the offloading
drivers which all expect an bound endpoint.

iSER has compatibility checks to work without a bound endpoint, so
expose both transport functions there.

* Split endpoint creation into host-bound and with a specified
  namespace, for iSER's use of endpoint objects + virtual
  host-per-session.

This is much like was done with sessions for iscsi_tcp.

Just a nit, but use a consistent coding style. Do you like newlines before/after
like above or not like here.

Maybe you want these comments for __iscsi_iser_session_create so you can
describe the ep vs a net args. Or it's just odd to have it for only the
ep function.

No {}s are neede here and above. It will also match the other code you
adding.
