SCSI: race condition between scsi_remove_target and scsi_probe_and_add_lun
From: Andrey Zonov

Hi,
I've got kernel panic on my box which works as FibreChannel initiator.
I was able to reproduce this panic by setting dev_loss_tmo=2 and
enabling/disabling ports every 5 seconds on the switch in 5 minutes. I
added some debug points in the kernel code and that's what I've got so far:
1. system is inserting new device into __devices list

2. later in scsi_probe_and_add_lun() this device is removing

3. another thread is trying to remove this device because of timeout

[<ffffffff8139f130>] ? gs_change+0xb/0xb
and it's got dead sdev object. I don't understand how this can happen
because __scsi_remove_target() iterating over __devices and getting sdev
reference under host_lock and that should be enough.

I'm not sure about the fix is correct, but I was not able to reproduce
the panic.
P.S. Here is another patch which help to detect reference count underflow
