Easier said than done.

We can only fetch the subsystem once we have the NQN, which we will
know after the connect command.
But out of necessity the connect command will only be transferred
after TLS handshake completed, so there is not subsystem NQN allowing
us to figure out the correct subsystem.

So we'll have to keep it at the port level, I'm afraid.
