core-iscsi v1.6.2.1 STABLE

["Nicholas A. Bellinger" <nab@kernel.org>]

Greetings all!

Attached is a new release of the core-iscsi stack that solves one of the
items from RELEASE_NOTES (Netapp, Wasabi, SANRAD support) as well as a
additional fix related to iSCSI Underflow handling involving the removal
of a unnecessary 'return on error' condition.  A big thanks to Dominik
and Dustin @ VBI for making this release happen! 

These are both a single line change, please see the code below:

CHANGELOG-1.6.2.1

1) Fixed iscsi_put_lun() to not include 0x4 at start of Flat Space
64-bit SCSI LUN Addressing (Wasabi+Netapp support added) that was
causing a 'logical unit not connected' execption in INQUIRY readback
data.
2) Only make noise when handling a Underflow mismatching between local
missing read data value and resid.
