[PATCH] scsi: target: iscsi: Clear sequence list after PDU allocation failure

Message-ID <[email protected]>
iscsit_build_pdu_and_seq_lists() publishes cmd->seq_list after the
sequence-list allocation succeeds. If the later PDU-list allocation
fails, the error path frees the local seq pointer and returns with
cmd->seq_list still pointing at that freed memory.

The same command is then converted into a reject command, and its normal
release path frees cmd->seq_list again. Clear the published sequence-list
state after freeing seq so command release does not see a stale cleanup
pointer.

This issue was found by a static analysis checker and confirmed by
manual source review.
