Subject: iscsi-target: Fix rx_login_comp hang after login failure

From: Nicholas Bellinger <nab@linux-iscsi.org>

commit ca82c2bded29b38d36140bfa1e76a7bbfcade390 upstream.

This patch addresses a case where iscsi_target_do_tx_login_io()
fails sending the last login response PDU, after the RX/TX
threads have already been started.

The case centers around iscsi_target_rx_thread() not invoking
allow_signal(SIGINT) before the send_sig(SIGINT, ...) occurs
from the failure path, resulting in RX thread hanging
indefinately on iscsi_conn->rx_login_comp.

Note this bug is a regression introduced by:

      iscsi-target: Fix iscsit_start_kthreads failure OOPs

To address this bug, complete ->rx_login_complete for good
measure in the failure path, and immediately return from
RX thread context if connection state did not actually reach
full feature phase (TARG_CONN_STATE_LOGGED_IN).
