Nicholas Bellinger 057085e522 target: Fix race for SCF_COMPARE_AND_WRITE_POST checking
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.
