Any thoughts on this? Can we really drop a reference from a child device
(bsg_class_device) to a parent device (Scsi_Host) while the child device
is still around at fc_bsg_remove time?
If not, please consider a fix with module references. I realized that
the previous version of the fix had a problem since bsg_open may run
more often than bsg_release. Sending a newer version... The new fix
piggybacks on the bsg layer logic allocating/freeing bsg_device structs.
When all those structs are gone there are no references to Scsi_Host from
the user-mode side. The only remaining references are from a SCSI bus
driver (like qla2xxx) itself; it is safe to drop the module reference
at that time.

Subject: [PATCH] bsg referencing parent module
Signed-off-by: Anatoliy Glagolev <glagolig@xxxxxxxxx>
Fixing a bug when bsg layer holds the last reference to device
when the device's module has been unloaded. Upon dropping the
reference the device's release function may touch memory of
the unloaded module.
