    target: Remove legacy + unused device active I/O shutdown code · ce8762f6
    Nicholas Bellinger authored
    This patch removes the legacy device active I/O shutdown code that was
    originally called from transport_processing_thread() context during shutdown
    including transport_processing_shutdown() and transport_release_all_cmds().
    
    This is due to the fact that in modern configfs control plane code by the
    time shutdown of an se_device instance in transport_processing_thread()
    is allowed to occur via:
    
    	rmdir /sys/kernel/config/target/core/$HBA/$DEV
    
    all active I/O will already have been ceased while removing active configfs
    fabric Port/LUN symlinks.  Eg: the removal of an active se_device is protected
    by inter-module VFS references from active Port/LUN symlinks.
    
    Two WARN_ON() checks have been added in their place before exiting
    transport_processing_thread() to watch out for any leaked descriptors.
