iscsi-target: Reject immediate data underflow larger than SCSI transf…

…er length

When iscsi WRITE underflow occurs there are two different scenarios
that can happen.

Normally in practice, when an EDTL vs. SCSI CDB TRANSFER LENGTH
underflow is detected, the iscsi immediate data payload is the
smaller SCSI CDB TRANSFER LENGTH.

That is, when a host fabric LLD is using a fixed size EDTL for
a specific control CDB, the SCSI CDB TRANSFER LENGTH and actual
SCSI payload ends up being smaller than EDTL.  In iscsi, this
means the received iscsi immediate data payload matches the
smaller SCSI CDB TRANSFER LENGTH, because there is no more
SCSI payload to accept beyond SCSI CDB TRANSFER LENGTH.

However, it's possible for a malicous host to send a WRITE
underflow where EDTL is larger than SCSI CDB TRANSFER LENGTH,
but incoming iscsi immediate data actually matches EDTL.

In the wild, we've never had a iscsi host environment actually
try to do this.

For this special case, it's wrong to truncate part of the
control CDB payload and continue to process the command during
underflow when immediate data payload received was larger than
SCSI CDB TRANSFER LENGTH, so go ahead and reject and drop the
bogus payload as a defensive action.

Note this potential bug was originally relaxed by the following
for allowing WRITE underflow in MSFT FCP host environments:
