Subject: target: Drop incorrect ABORT_TASK put for completed commands

commit 7f54ab5ff52fb0b91569bc69c4a6bc5cac1b768d upstream.

This patch fixes a recent ABORT_TASK regression associated
with commit febe562c, where a left-over target_put_sess_cmd()
would still be called when __target_check_io_state() detected
a command has already been completed, and explicit ABORT must
be avoided.

Note commit febe562c dropped the local kref_get_unless_zero()
check in core_tmr_abort_task(), but did not drop this extra
corresponding target_put_sess_cmd() in the failure path.

So go ahead and drop this now bogus target_put_sess_cmd(),
and avoid this potential use-after-free.
