Bart Van Assche d877d7275b target: Fix a deadlock between the XCOPY code and iSCSI session shutdown
Move the code for parsing an XCOPY command from the context of
the iSCSI receiver thread to the context of the XCOPY workqueue.
Keep the simple XCOPY checks in the context of the iSCSI receiver
thread. Move the code for allocating and freeing struct xcopy_op
from the code that parses an XCOPY command to its caller.

This patch fixes the following deadlock:

Linux kernel
============

This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst

Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users.
These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
