From: Hannes Reinecke hare@suse.de

commit 81b6c999897919d5a16fedc018fe375dbab091c5 upstream.

As it turned out device_get() doesn't use kref_get_unless_zero(), so we will be always getting a device pointer. Consequently, we need to check for the device state in __scsi_remove_target() to avoid tripping over deleted objects.
