Following a review and the clarification i have got from you re cma 
callbacks serialization, i have committed this change which removes 
unneeded state checks from two flows (disconnect handler and connect error)

Or.

two fixes to iser ib conn state management:

+1 when getting DISCONNECTED cma event, iser's state can't be PENDING
+2 when connect_error is called, iser's state is PENDING, no need to 
check it
