Hmm. Looking at the call chain seems to confirm that.
But looking at the call chain I _also_ see that we have
scsi_free_host_dev() there, which seems to be some stale frame data
from a previous scan.
I'm wondering if that is a clue. I find exactly two callers of that
functions, both in the gdth driver.
Maybe this is some odd refcount bug, brought on by reuse of a sdev.
Would that make more sense?
Why is that scsi_free_host_dev() used only by that one driver, and
nobody else wants it or needs it?
