iscsi_tcp was updating the exp_statsn (exp_statsn acknowledges
status and tells the target it is ok to let the resources for
a iscsi pdu to be reused) before it got all the data for pdu read
into OS buffers. Data corruption was occuring if something happens
to a packet and the network layer requests a retransmit, and the
initiator has told the target about the udpated exp_statsn ack,
then the target may be sending data from a buffer it has reused
for a new iscsi pdu. This fixes the problem by having the LLD
(iscsi_tcp in this case) just handle the transferring of data, and
has libiscsi handle the processing of status (libiscsi completion
processing is done after LLD data transfers are complete).
