scsi: target: Document when CMD_T_STOP and CMD_T_COMPLETE are set
Document those aspects of transport_cmd_check_stop_to_fabric() and transport_generic_free_cmd() of which it is nontrivial to derive these from their implementation.

+ * - During regular command processing the target core sets CMD_T_COMPLETE
+ * before invoking one of the .queue_*() functions.
+ * - The code that aborts commands skips commands and TMFs for which
+ * CMD_T_COMPLETE has been set.
+ * - CMD_T_ABORTED is set atomically after the CMD_T_COMPLETE check for
+ * commands that will be aborted.
+ * - If the CMD_T_ABORTED flag is set but CMD_T_TAS has not been set
+ * transport_generic_free_cmd() skips its call to target_put_sess_cmd().
+ * - For aborted commands for which CMD_T_TAS has been set .queue_status() will
