Please consider to change the new comment into something like the following:
"Before a SCSI command is dispatched, get_device(&sdev->sdev_gendev) is called
and the host, target and device busy counters are increased. Since requeuing a
request causes these actions to be repeated and since scsi_device_unbusy() has
already been called, put_device(&device->sdev_gendev) must still be called. Call
put_device() after blk_mq_requeue_request() to avoid that removal of the SCSI
device can start before requeueing has happened."

Thanks,

Bart.
