I don't think it's safe to call scsi_done() for the SHOST_DEL case here
with host->unlocked_qcmds=1 w/o holding host_lock, nor would it be safe
for the SCSI LLD itself using host->unlocked_qcmds=1 to call the
(*scsi_done)() being passed into sht->queuecommand() without
host->host_lock being held by either the SCSI ML or the SCSI LLD.

The host state should be checked under the host lock, but I do not think it needs to be held with calling scsi_done. scsi_done just queues up the request to be completed in the block softirq, and the block layer protects against something like the command getting completed by multiple code paths/threads.
