[PATCH 3.2 104/125] [SCSI] Stop accepting SCSI requests before removing a device

[Ben Hutchings]

3.2.61-rc1 review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Bart Van Assche <bvanassche@xxxxxxx>

commit b485462aca7df4e32bcf7efb6f84a69e8b640243 upstream.

Avoid that the code for requeueing SCSI requests triggers a
crash by making sure that that code isn't scheduled anymore
after a device has been removed.

Also, source code inspection of __scsi_remove_device() revealed
a race condition in this function: no new SCSI requests must be
accepted for a SCSI device after device removal started.
