iscsi-target: Fix race with thread_pre_handler flush_signals + ISCSI_THREAD_SET_DIE



This patch addresses an long standing race in iscsi_[rx,tx]_thread_pre_handler()
use of flush_signals(), and between iscsi_deallocate_extra_thread_sets() setting
ISCSI_THREAD_SET_DIE before calling kthread_stop().

It addresses the issue by both holding ts_state_lock before calling send_sig()
in iscsi_deallocate_extra_thread_sets(), as well as only calling flush_signals()
when ts->status != ISCSI_THREAD_SET_DIE within iscsi_[rx,tx]_thread_pre_handler()
code.

v2 changes:
  - Add explicit complete(&ts->[rx,tx]_start_comp); before kthread_stop() in
    iscsi_deallocate_extra_thread_sets()
  - Drop left-over send_sig() calls in iscsi_deallocate_extra_thread_sets()
  - Add kthread_should_stop() check in iscsi_signal_thread_pre_handler()
