3.18-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------ From: Nicholas Bellinger <n...@linux-iscsi.org> commit 3fd7b60f2c7418239d586e359e0c6d8503e10646 upstream. This patch drops legacy active_ts_list usage within iscsi_target_tq.c code. It was originally used to track the active thread sets during iscsi-target shutdown, and is no longer used by modern upstream code. Two people have reported list corruption using traditional iscsi-target and iser-target with the following backtrace, that appears to be related to iscsi_thread_set->ts_list being used across both active_ts_list and inactive_ts_list.
