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().
Isn't that too negative? I think that the WARN_ON_ONCE() mentioned above
has proven to be useful: it helped to catch a bug.
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.

Fixes: 27f58c04a8f4 ("scsi: sg: Avoid sg device teardown race")
The "goto sg_put" removed by this patch was introduced by commit
cc833acbee9d ("sg: O_EXCL and other lock handling"). Since the latter
commit is older than the one mentioned above, shouldn't the Fixes tag
refer to the latter commit?

Please add a comment above "return retval" that explains which code will
drop the sg reference.
Thanks,
