[PATCH 04/18] scsi_transport_sas: fix delete vs scan race

[Dan Williams <dan.j.williams@xxxxxxxxx>]

The following crash results from cases where the end_device has been
removed before scsi_sysfs_add_sdev has had a chance to run.

 BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at 0000000000000098
 IP: [<ffffffff8115e100>] sysfs_create_dir+0x32/0xb6
 ...

...teach sas_rphy_remove to wait for async scanning to quiesce before
removing the end_device.  It seems this is a more general problem [1],
but this patch only addresses sas transport.

the slave_destroy callback when all the LUNS have been deleted
