4.8-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Bart Van Assche <bart.vanassche@xxxxxxxxxxx>
commit df3d422cbac685da882e4c239dfda07de33d431b upstream.
The code at the end of alua_rtpg_work() is as follows:
scsi_device_put(sdev);
kref_put(&pg->kref, release_port_group);
In other words, alua_rtpg_queue() must hold an sdev reference and a pg
reference before queueing rtpg work. If no rtpg work is queued no
additional references should be held when alua_rtpg_queue() returns. If
no rtpg work is queued, ensure that alua_rtpg_queue() only gives up the
sdev reference if that reference was obtained by the same
alua_rtpg_queue() call.
