We are actually doing sysfs/device addition wrong.

We should be doing the 2 step setup where in step 1 we alloc/init.
When everything is allocated and initialized, then we should do
device_add which exposes us to sysfs. On the teardown side, we are
then supposed to do 2 steps where the remove function does device_del
which waits until sysfs accesses are completed. We can then tear
the structs down and free them and call device_put.

The exposure to NL would be similar where it goes into the wrapper
around device_add. However, see my comments on the other patch where
I don't think we can hit the bug you mention because every nl cmd
that calls into the drivers is done under the rx_queue_mutex.

I think we should separate the iscsi_create_conn function like we
do for sessions. This is going to be a little more involved because
you need to also convert iscsi_tcp_conn_setup and the drivers since
we can call into the drivers for the get_conn_param callout.
