Sorry I did not highlight the key points. The root reason we need to record
node_startup mode in kernel is userspace's node_startup mode is unreliable in
some scenarios:
1. iscsi node and session is created in initrd, the configure files of these
nodes would be lost after we switch to rootfs
2. someone do iscsiadm -m discovery but did not specify the operation mode,
the iscsi node's node_startup would be updated to which specified in iscsid.conf
3. someone do iscsiadm -m node -o update to update nodes' configure
What's more, it seems "iscsiadm/iscsid" only refuse to logout of an ONBOOT
session when logout is specificed by "--logoutall". We still can logout an
ONBOOT session with "iscsiadm -m node -u comamnd".
Based on these analysis, I think we should record the node_startup mode in kernel
and check in userspace to avoid logout ONBOOT sessions.
