scsi: core: Remove the /proc/scsi/${proc_name} directory earlier
[ Upstream commit fc663711b94468f4e1427ebe289c9f05669699c9 ]
Remove the /proc/scsi/${proc_name} directory earlier to fix a race
condition between unloading and reloading kernel modules. This fixes a bug
introduced in 2009 by commit 77c019768f06 ("[SCSI] fix /proc memory leak in
the SCSI core").
Fix the following kernel warning:
proc_dir_entry 'scsi/scsi_debug' already registered
