Get rid of a bunch of write-only variables.  In a number of cases I
suspect actual bugs to be present, so I left all of those for a second
look.

<content type='text'>
This patch drops the following unused legacy API callers from target_core_fabric.h:

*) TFO-&gt;fall_back_to_erl0()
*) TFO-&gt;stop_session()
*) TFO-&gt;sess_logged_in()
*) TFO-&gt;is_state_remove()

This patch also removes the stub usage in loopback, tcm_fc, iscsi_target,
and ib_srpt fabric modules.

<title>target: Untangle front-end and back-end meanings of max_sectors attribute</title>

<content type='text'>
se_dev_attrib.max_sectors currently has two independent meanings:

 - It is reported in the block limits VPD page as the maximum transfer
   length, ie the largest IO that the front-end (fabric) can handle.
   Also the target core doesn't enforce this maximum transfer length.

 - It is used to hold the size of the largest IO that the back-end can
   handle, so we know when to split SCSI commands into multiple tasks.

Fix this by adding a new se_dev_attrib.fabric_max_sectors to hold the
maximum transfer length, and checking incoming IOs against that limit.

<title>target: Use LIST_HEAD()/DEFINE_MUTEX() for static objects</title>

<content type='text'>
Instead of

   static struct list_head foo;
   static struct mutex bar;

   ...

   INIT_LIST_HEAD(&amp;foo);
   mutex_init(&amp;bar);

just do

   static LIST_HEAD(foo);
   static DEFINE_MUTEX(bar);

Also remove some superfluous struct list_head and spinlock_t
initialization calls where the variables are already defined using
macros that initialize them.

This saves a decent amount of compiled code too:

    add/remove: 0/0 grow/shrink: 0/3 up/down: 0/-178 (-178)
    function                                     old     new   delta
    target_core_init_configfs                    898     850     -48
    core_scsi3_emulate_pro_preempt              1742    1683     -59
    iscsi_thread_set_init                        159      88     -71

These are root only and we're not likely to hit the problem in practise,
but it makes the static checkers happy.

A reader should spend an extra moment whenever noticing a cast,
because either something special is going on that deserves extra
attention or, as is all too often the case, the code is wrong.

These casts, afaics, have all been useless.  They cast a foo* to a
foo*, cast a void* to the assigned type, cast a foo* to void*, before
assigning it to a void* variable, etc.

In a few cases I also removed an additional &amp;...[0], which is equally
useless.

Lastly I added three FIXMEs where, to the best of my judgement, the
code appears to have a bug.  It would be good if someone could check
these.

<title>target: use \n as a separator for configuration</title>

The command
| echo rd_pages=32768 &gt; ramdisk/control

Does not work because it writes "rd_pages=32768\n" and the parser which
matches for "rd_pages=%d" does not recognize it due to the \n. One way
of fixing this would be using "echo -n" instead.
This patch adds \n to the list of separators so we don't have to use the
-n argument which I find is more convinient.

This reorganized the headers under include/target into:

 - target_core_base.h stays as is with all target-wide data stuctures and defines
 - target_core_backend.h contains the whole interface to I/O backends
 - target_core_fabric.h contains the whole interface to fabric modules

Except for those only the various configfs macro headers stay around.
