Pull SCSI target updates from Nicholas Bellinger:
 "Lots of activity in target land the last months.

  The highlights include:

   - Convert fabric drivers tree-wide to target_register_template() (hch
     + bart)

   - iser-target hardening fixes + v1.0 improvements (sagi)

   - Convert iscsi_thread_set usage to kthread.h + kill
     iscsi_target_tq.c (sagi + nab)

   - Add support for T10-PI WRITE_STRIP + READ_INSERT operation (mkp +
     sagi + nab)

   - DIF fixes for CONFIG_DEBUG_SG=y + UNMAP file emulation (akinobu +
     sagi + mkp)

   - Extended TCMU ABI v2 for future BIDI + DIF support (andy + ilias)

   - Fix COMPARE_AND_WRITE handling for NO_ALLLOC drivers (hch + nab)

  Thanks to everyone who contributed this round with new features,
  bug-reports, fixes, cleanups and improvements.

  Looking forward, it's currently shaping up to be a busy v4.2 as well"

Currently, iflink of the parent interface was always accessed, even
when interface didn't have a parent and hence we crashed there.

Handle the interface types properly: for a child interface, return
the ifindex of the parent, for parent interface, return its ifindex.

For child devices, make sure to set the parent pointer prior to
invoking register_netdevice(), this allows the new ndo to be called
by the stack immediately after the child device is registered.

In some rare cases, IO operations may be not aligned to page
boundaries. This prevents iser from performing fast memory
registration. In order to overcome that iser uses a bounce
buffer to carry the transaction. We basically allocate a buffer
in the size of the transaction and perform a copy.

The buffer allocation using kmalloc is too restrictive since it
requires higher order (atomic) allocations for large transactions
(which may result in memory exhaustion fairly fast for some workloads).
We rewrite the bounce buffer code path to allocate scattered pages
and perform a copy between the transaction sg and the bounce sg.

In singleton scatterlists, DMA memory registration code

a function.

Instead of passing ib_sge as output variable, we pass the mem_reg
pointer to have the routines fill the rkey as well. This reduces
code duplication and extra assignments. This is a preparation step
to unify some registration logics together. Also, pass iser_fast_reg_mr
the fastreg descriptor directly.

This patch does not change any functionality.

No need to keep lkey, va, len variables, we can keep
them as struct ib_sge. This will help when we change the
memory registration logic.
