target: Fix race for SCF_COMPARE_AND_WRITE_POST checking
commit 057085e5 upstream. This patch addresses a race + use after free where the first stage of COMPARE_AND_WRITE in compare_and_write_callback() is rescheduled after the backend sends the secondary WRITE, resulting in second stage compare_and_write_post() callback completing in target_complete_ok_work() before the first can return. Because current code depends on checking se_cmd->se_cmd_flags after return from se_cmd->transport_complete_callback(), this results in first stage having SCF_COMPARE_AND_WRITE_POST set, which incorrectly falls through into second stage CAW processing code, eventually triggering a NULL pointer dereference due to use after free. To address this bug, pass in a new *post_ret parameter into se_cmd->transport_complete_callback(), and depend upon this value instead of ->se_cmd_flags to determine when to return or fall through into ->queue_status() code for CAW.
