A problem exists todayin the sg driver that if an SG_IO request is
outstanding to a device when it is removed from the system. The
system may oops if that command completes later in time.
1. sg_remove gets called
2. sg_remove calls sg_finish_req_req on all pending requests
This removes the Sg_request's from the headrp list in the Sg_fd
3. The sleeping SG_IO ioctl is woken. It does nothing and returns.
4. The caller closes the fd, which invokes sg_release
5. sg_release calls sg_remove_sfp. It finds no outstanding commands
since the headrp list is empty, so it calls __sg_remove_sfp,
which frees the sfp.
6. Now when sg_cmd_done gets called, sg uses upper_private_data in
the Scsi_Request, which should point to the srp, which has been
freed, so it points to freed memory.
7. sg then dereferences the srp pointer to get the sfp, and we oops.
The fix is to NULL out the upper_private_data field in this path,
which sg_cmd_done already checks for, which will prevent the oops
from occurring.

Brian,
Thanks. This looks correct. James, please apply.
