hw iscsi like qla4xxx does not allocate a host per session and
for userspace it is difficult to restart iscsid using the
"iscsi handles" for the session and connection, so this
patch just has the class or userspace allocate the id for
the session and connection.
Note: this breaks userspace and requires users to upgrade to the newest
open-iscsi tools. Sorry about his but open-iscsi is still too new to
say we have a stable user-kernel api and we were not good nough
designers to know that other hw iscsi drivers and iscsid itself would
need such changes. Actually we sorta did but at the time we did not
have the HW available to us so we could only guess.
Luckily, the only tools hooking into the class are the open-iscsi ones
or other tools like iscsitart hook into the open-iscsi engine from
userspace or prgroams like anaconda call our tools so they are not affected.

This patch cleans up that interface by having the lld and class
pass a iscsi_cls_session or iscsi_cls_conn between each other when
the function is used by HW and SW iscsi llds. This way the lld
does not have to remember if it has to send a handle or pointer
and a handle or pointer to connection, session or host.
This also has the class verify the session handle that gets passed from
userspace instead of using the pointer passed into the kernel directly.

This is the second version of the patch to address Christoph's comments.
Instead of doing the lib, I just kept everything in scsi_trnapsort_iscsi.c
like the FC and SPI class. This was becuase the driver model and sysfs
class is tied to the session and connection setup so separating did not
buy very much at this time.
The reason for this patch was becuase HW iscsi LLDs like qla4xxx cannot
use the iscsi class becuase the scsi_host was tied to the interface and
class code. This patch just seperates the session from scsi host so
that LLDs that allocate the host per some resource like pci device
can still use the class.
This is also fixes a couple refcount bugs that can be triggered
when users have a sysfs file open, close the session, then
read or write to the file.
