[PATCH storage v5] fix #957: iscsi: improve iscsi_test_portal logic

Check if there is already a logged session present and
fall back to previous TCP check port connection.

pvestatd is calling check_connection every 10 seconds.
This check produces a lot of noise at the iscsi server logging.

changes since v4:

* rework commit message wording and subject in proper format

* iscsi_test_session():
  use [0-9] instead of \d
  simplify return logic checking $state is defined too

* iscsi_test_portal():
  fallback to TCP check connection if session is not LOGGED_IN

* iscsi_discovery():
  rename $target to $target_in to avoid variable shadowing
