Subject: target: Fix race with SCF_SEND_DELAYED_TAS handling

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

commit 310d3d314be7f0a84011ebdc4bdccbcae9755a87 upstream.

This patch fixes a race between setting of SCF_SEND_DELAYED_TAS
in transport_send_task_abort(), and check of the same bit in
transport_check_aborted_status().

It adds a __transport_check_aborted_status() version that is
used by target_execute_cmd() when se_cmd->t_state_lock is
held, and a transport_check_aborted_status() wrapper for
all other existing callers.

Also, it handles the case where the check happens before
transport_send_task_abort() gets called.  For this, go
ahead and set SCF_SEND_DELAYED_TAS early when necessary,
and have transport_send_task_abort() send the abort.
