[34-longterm 258/260] Fix race when removing SCSI devices

[Paul Gortmaker]

From: Christof Schmitt <christof.schmitt@xxxxxxxxxx>

commit 546ae796bfac6399e30da4b5af2cf7a6d0f8a4ec upstream.

Removing SCSI devices through
echo 1 > /sys/bus/scsi/devices/ ... /delete

while the FC transport class removes the SCSI target can lead to an
oops:

The function __scsi_remove_target iterates through the SCSI devices on
the host, but it drops the host_lock before calling
scsi_remove_device. When the SCSI device is deleted from another
thread, the pointer to the SCSI device in scsi_remove_device can
become invalid. Fix this by getting a reference to the SCSI device
before dropping the host_lock to keep the SCSI device alive for the
call to scsi_remove_device.
