Why only for login->login_complete case? In other case the session will
not hang? Will it be droppped on login timeout or something else?

May be the root cause is point 2 itself - calling iscsit_cause_connection_reinstatement
in not ISER_CONN_FULL_FEATURE state where there are no TX_RX threads?
I mean that was a misuse of iscsit_cause_connection_reinstatement?
