Hi Bart,

cxgbit driver is not working with this patch as transport_free_pages()
is called before calling conn->conn_transport->iscsit_release_cmd(), cxgbit
driver calls dma_unmap_sg() in ->iscsit_release_cmd(), transport_free_pages()
frees the scatterlist pages so dma unmap will not work.

cxgbit driver needs a callback before target frees the pages
so that it can dma unmap.

We can remove ->iscsit_release_cmd() from __iscsit_free_cmd() and call it
directly from iscsit_free_cmd(), iscsit_aborted_task().    

Thanks
Varun
