Subject: iscsi-target: Drop problematic active_ts_list usage
commit 3fd7b60f2c7418239d586e359e0c6d8503e10646 upstream.
This patch drops legacy active_ts_list usage within iscsi_target_tq.c
code. It was originally used to track the active thread sets during
iscsi-target shutdown, and is no longer used by modern upstream code.
Two people have reported list corruption using traditional iscsi-target
and iser-target with the following backtrace, that appears to be related
to iscsi_thread_set->ts_list being used across both active_ts_list and
inactive_ts_list.

Since this code is no longer used, go ahead and drop the problematic usage
all-together.
