Subject[PATCH 2/2] Another crash in linux kernel at diconnect of usb strorage
Date
From: Alexey Kuznetsov <kuznet@ms2.inr.ac.ru>

Asynchronous scan (scsi_add_lun()) sets state to SDEV_RUNNING,
but the device is not registered in sysfs.
Before async scan it was OK, because before releasing scan_mutex
old code called either scsi_sysfs_add_sdev() or scsi_destroy_sdev()
and, therefore, completed the work or discarded it.

With async scan the invariant is broken and scsi crashes
in __scsi_remove_device() when trying to unregister not registered
devices.

The fix could be introducing new state(s), which is equivalent
to SDEV_RUNNING, except for one thing, we know that scsi_sysfs_add_sdev()
has not been called yet. Or a separate flag, because the state
can be SDEV_BLOCK or even something else.

Simpler way is just to check that the device is regstered in sysfs
before unregistering. Another operations in __scsi_remove_device()
seem to be idempotent or even required, because scsi_add_lun()
makes some part of work duplicated in scsi_sysfs_add_sdev().
