I might be mistaken, but this patch seems functionally identical to
this attempt:

http://marc.info/?l=linux-scsi&m=143459794823595&w=2

i.e. it moves the port destruction to the workqueue and still suffers
from the flutter problem:

http://marc.info/?l=linux-scsi&m=143801026028006&w=2
http://marc.info/?l=linux-scsi&m=143801971131073&w=2

Perhaps we instead need to quiet this warning?
