When a device is deleted through sysfs handle "delete", the code locks shost->scan_mutex. If multiple devices are deleted at the same time, these deletes will be handled in series. On the other hand, sd_shutdown() sometimes issues long latency commands: sync cache and start_stop. It is not necessary for these commands to run in series. To reduce latency of parallel "delete" requests, this patch unlock shost->scan_mutex before long latency commands and relock the mutex after the command. Fixed bug from previous version.
