sg_remove_sfp_usercontext() must not use sg_device_destroy() after

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.

Reworked the commit message

What commit id does this fix?

It's a combination of patches. I think
db59133e9279 ("scsi: sg: fix blktrace debugfs entries leakage") was the one which finally broke it.

The in the hindsight wrong sequence was introduced via:
c6517b7942fa ("[SCSI] sg: fix races during device removal")
and cc833acbee9d ("sg: O_EXCL and other lock handling")
