Subject: target: Fix NULL pointer dereference for XCOPY in target_put_sess_cmd
From: Nicholas Bellinger <[email protected]>
commit 0ed6e189e3f6ac3a25383ed5cc8b0ac24c9b97b7 upstream.
This patch fixes a NULL pointer dereference regression bug that was
introduced with:
commit 1e1110c43b1cda9fe77fc4a04835e460550e6b3c
Author: Mikulas Patocka <[email protected]>

target: fix memory leak on XCOPY
Now that target_put_sess_cmd() -> kref_put_spinlock_irqsave() is
called with a valid se_cmd->cmd_kref, a NULL pointer dereference
is triggered because the XCOPY passthrough commands don't have
an associated se_session pointer.
To address this bug, go ahead and checking for a NULL se_sess pointer
within target_put_sess_cmd(), and call se_cmd->se_tfo->release_cmd()
to release the XCOPY's xcopy_pt_cmd memory.
