In older kernels we had a similar panic, and we added a scsi_device_online call because midlayer was nulling some of the pointers in the scsi_cmd after itself offlined a device before the lld slave_destroy was called.. This panic occured because there were still outstanding io in fusion. Since I thought that was fix'd, it was recommended by hch and company that we kill the scsi_device_online call.
