Same issue here between original cpu_relax() location and
put_alua_tg_pt_gp_mem().  It's not safe to drop the
tg_pt_gp_mem->tg_pt_gp association while there are still active
references in other process contexts.

Also, the same problem exists with configfs reference counting here,
where core_alua_free_tg_pt_gp_mem() is called from core_dev_unexport()
-> core_release_port(), where the struct lun could be immediately be
reused, or the struct device be removed before the final
put_alua_tg_pt_gp() is called from the other process contexts.

NAK.
