Calvin Owens a5a039b017 scsi: ses: Fix racy cleanup of /sys in remove_dev()
Currently we free the resources backing the enclosure device before we
call device_unregister(). This is racy: during rmmod of low-level SCSI
drivers that hook into enclosure, we end up with a small window of time
during which writing to /sys can OOPS. Example trace with mpt3sas:

  general protection fault: 0000 [#1] SMP KASAN
  Modules linked in: mpt3sas(-) <...>
  RIP: [<ffffffffa0388a98>] ses_get_page2_descriptor.isra.6+0x38/0x220 [ses]
  Call Trace:
   [<ffffffffa0389d14>] ses_set_fault+0xf4/0x400 [ses]
   [<ffffffffa0361069>] set_component_fault+0xa9/0xf0 [enclosure]
   [<ffffffff8205bffc>] dev_attr_store+0x3c/0x70
   [<ffffffff81677df5>] sysfs_kf_write+0x115/0x180
   [<ffffffff81675725>] kernfs_fop_write+0x275/0x3a0
   [<ffffffff8151f810>] __vfs_write+0xe0/0x3e0
   [<ffffffff8152281f>] vfs_write+0x13f/0x4a0

   [<ffffffff828b401b>] entry_SYSCALL_64_fastpath+0x13/0x94

Fortunately the solution is extremely simple: call device_unregister()
before we free the resources, and the race no longer exists. The driver
core holds a reference over ->remove_dev(), so AFAICT this is safe.

Linux kernel
============

This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst

Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users.
These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
