    target/iscsi: Fix network portal creation race · 6b1246d9

    commit ee291e63 upstream.
    
    When creating network portals rapidly, such as when restoring a
    configuration, LIO's code to reuse existing portals can return a false
    negative if the thread hasn't run yet and set np_thread_state to
    ISCSI_NP_THREAD_ACTIVE. This causes an error in the network stack
    when attempting to bind to the same address/port.
    
    This patch sets NP_THREAD_ACTIVE before the np is placed on g_np_list,
    so even if the thread hasn't run yet, iscsit_get_np will return the
    existing np.
    
    Also, convert np_lock -> np_mutex + hold across adding new net portal
    to g_np_list to prevent a race where two threads may attempt to create
    the same network portal, resulting in one of them failing.
