commit fc663711b94468f4e1427ebe289c9f05669699c9 upstream.

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").

Hi Greg,

This patch introduces a new bug and the new bug is easier to trigger than the bug fixed by this patch. How about waiting with applying this patch on any stable branch until the fix for this patch has landed upstream?

Thanks,

Bart.
