Firstly, when ex_phy is added to the parent port, ex_phy->port is not set.
As a result, sas_port_delete_phy() won't be called in
sas_unregister_devs_sas_addr(), and although ex_phy's sas_address is zero,
it is not deleted from the parent port's phy_list.
Secondly, phy->attached_sas_addr will be set to a zero-address when
phy->linkrate < SAS_LINK_RATE_1_5_GBPS and device-type != NO_DEVICE during
device registration, such as stp. It will create a new port and all other
ex_phys whose addresses are zero will be added to the new port in
sas_ex_get_linkrate(), and it may trigger BUG() as follows:

We've done the following to solve this problem:
Firstly, set ex_phy->port when ex_phy is added to the parent port. And set
ex_dev->parent_port to NULL when the number of PHYs of the parent port
becomes 0.
