This patch fixes a NULL pointer dereference in isert_login_recv_done()
of isert_conn->cm_id due to isert_cma_handler() -> isert_connect_error()
resetting isert_conn->cm_id = NULL during a failed login attempt.
As per Sagi, we will always see the completion of all recv wrs posted
on the qp (given that we assigned a ->done handler), this is a FLUSH
error completion, we just don't get to verify that because we deref
NULL before.
The issue here, was the assumption that dereferencing the connection
cm_id is always safe, which is not true since:

iser-target: Fix possible deadlock in RDMA_CM connection error
As I see it, we have a direct reference to the isert_device from
isert_conn which is the one-liner fix that we actually need like
we do in isert_rdma_read_done() and isert_rdma_write_done().

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.
