Yes, just echo into the PCI device's sysfs remove file and it'll trigger the
problem.
I did some archeology and it seems as if commit bcdde7e ("sysfs: make
__sysfs_remove_dir() recursive") introduced/uncovered this behavior.
For reference, here's one of my calltraces (the first of 40!):

But as I said, I don't belive this is a problem in the SAS transport or the
SAS drivers, but a device core or transport class.
