Commit 27f58c04a8f4 ("scsi: sg: Avoid sg device teardown race") introduced an incorrect WARN_ON_ONCE() and missed a sequence where sg_device_destroy() was used after 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. Drop the incorrect WARN_ON_ONCE() - allowing more than one concurrent access to the sg device - and make sure sg_device_destroy() is not used after scsi_device_put() in the error handling.
