Subject: scsi: sg: Avoid sg device teardown race
From: Alexander Wetzel <Alexander@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>
commit 27f58c04a8f438078583041468ec60597841284d upstream.
sg_remove_sfp_usercontext() must not use sg_device_destroy() after calling
scsi_device_put().
sg_device_destroy() is accessing the parent scsi_device request_queue which
will already be set to NULL when the preceding call to scsi_device_put()
removed the last reference to the parent scsi_device.
The resulting NULL pointer exception will then crash the kernel.
