Doing an add/remove/add on a SCSI device in an enclosure leads to an
oops caused by poisoned values in the enclosure device list pointers.
The reason is because we are keeping the enclosure device across the
enclosed device add/remove/add but the current code is doing a
device_add/device_del/device_add on it. This is the wrong thing to do
in sysfs, so fix it by not doing a device_del on the enclosure device
simply because of a hot remove of the drive in the slot.
