Although most calls of scsi_device_put() happen from non-atomic context, alua_rtpg_queue() calls this function from atomic context if alua_rtpg_queue() itself is called from atomic context. alua_rtpg_queue() is always called from contexts where the caller must hold at least one reference to the scsi device in question. This means that the reference taken by alua_rtpg_queue() itself can't be the last one, and thus can be dropped without entering the code path in which scsi_device_put() might actually sleep. Hence move the might_sleep() annotation from scsi_device_put() into scsi_device_dev_release().
