Emit a warning when ->done or ->free are called on an already freed
srb. There is a hidden use-after-free bug in the driver which corrupts
the srb memory pool which originates from the cleanup callbacks.
An extensive search didn't bring any lights on the real problem. The
initial fix was to set both pointers to NULL and try to catch invalid
accesses. But instead the memory corruption was gone and the driver
didn't crash. Since not all calling places check for NULL pointer, add
explicitly default handlers. With this we workaround the memory
corruption and add a debug help.

Overview
This is the source code repository of the SCST project. SCST is a collection of Linux kernel drivers that implement SCSI target functionality. The SCST project includes:
- The SCST core in the scst/ subdirectory.
- A tool for loading, saving and modifying the SCST configuration in directory scstadmin/.
- Several SCSI target drivers in the directories iscsi-scst/, qla2x00t/, srpt/, scst_local/ and fcst/.
- User space programs in the usr/ subdirectory, e.g. fileio_tgt.
- Various documentation in the doc/ subdirectory.
Instructions for building and installing SCST are available in the INSTALL.md file.
QLogic target driver
Two QLogic target drivers are included in the SCST project. The driver in the qla2x00t directory is a very stable driver that supports up to 16 Gb/s adapters. It is very stable, well tested and actively used in many production setups.
There is also a newer driver that supports 32 Gb/s FC in the qla2x00t-32gbit directory. That driver has not yet reached the same maturity level as the old qla2x00t driver.
