Bart Van Assche 6cfbb697fd isert-scst: Properly release resources on DEVICE_REMOVAL
When the low level driver exercises the hot unplug they would call
rdma_cm cma_remove_one which would fire DEVICE_REMOVAL event to all cma
consumers. Now, if consumer doesn't make sure they destroy all IB
objects created on that IB device instance prior to finalizing all
processing of DEVICE_REMOVAL callback, rdma_cm will let the lld to
de-register with IB core and destroy the IB device instance. And if the
consumer calls (say) ib_dereg_mr(), it will crash since that dev object
is NULL.

In the current implementation, iser-target just initiates the cleanup
and returns from DEVICE_REMOVAL callback. This deferred work creates a
race between iser-target cleaning IB objects(say MR) and lld destroying
IB device instance.

This patch includes the following fixes
  -> make sure that consumer frees all IB objects associated with device
     instance
  -> return non-zero from the callback to destroy the rdma_cm id
