    [SCSI] sd: Fix refcounting · 39b7f1e2

    Currently the driver takes a reference only for requests coming by way
    of the gendisk, not for requests coming by way of the struct device or
    struct scsi_device.  Such requests can arrive in the rescan, flush,
    and shutdown pathways.
    
    The patch also makes the scsi_disk keep a reference to the underlying
    scsi_device, and it erases the scsi_device's pointer to the scsi_disk
    when the scsi_device is removed (since the pointer should no longer be
    used).
    
    This resolves Bugzilla entry #5237.
