Subject: tcm_fc: Fix free-after-use regression in ft_free_cmd

commit ed8ec8f707ed4760c124d47b27c93df8ec5b1eba upstream.

This patch fixes a free-after-use regression in ft_free_cmd(), where
ft_sess_put() is called with cmd->sess after percpu_ida_free() has
already released the tag.

Fix this bug by saving the ft_sess pointer ahead of percpu_ida_free(),
and pass it directly to ft_sess_put().

The regression was originally introduced in v3.13-rc1 commit:

  commit 5f544cfac956971099e906f94568bc3fd1a7108a
