Subject: iscsi-target: Make TASK_REASSIGN use proper se_cmd->cmd_kref

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

commit ae072726f6109bb1c94841d6fb3a82dde298ea85 upstream.

Since commit 59b6986dbf fixed a potential NULL pointer dereference
by allocating a se_tmr_req for ISCSI_TM_FUNC_TASK_REASSIGN, the
se_tmr_req is currently leaked by iscsit_free_cmd() because no
iscsi_cmd->se_cmd.se_tfo was associated.

To address this, treat ISCSI_TM_FUNC_TASK_REASSIGN like any other
TMR and call transport_init_se_cmd() + target_get_sess_cmd() to
setup iscsi_cmd->se_cmd.se_tfo with se_cmd->cmd_kref of 2.

This will ensure normal release operation once se_cmd->cmd_kref
reaches zero and target_release_cmd_kref() is invoked, se_tmr_req
will be released via existing target_free_cmd_mem() and
core_tmr_release_req() code.
