This reverts commit
74a29902af7f26e62118b700b03d0fad8180d681, which in
turn reverted
c463c0f699aab26893da781d3e6a687dde0c29bd (which is thus
re-instated).
Quoth James Bottomley:
"All it's doing is deferring the device_put() from the
scsi_put_command() to after the scsi_run_queue(), which doesn't fix
the sleep while atomic problem of the device release method. In both
cases we still get the semaphore in atomic context problem which is
caused by scsi_reap_target() doing a device_del(), which I assumed
(wrongly) was valid from atomic context."
who also promised to fix scsi_reap_target().
