firewire: fw-sbp2: fix refcounting
Since patch "fw-sbp2: use an own workqueue (fix system responsiveness)" increased parallelism between fw-sbp2 and fw-core, it was possible that fw-sbp2 didn't release the SCSI device when the FireWire device was disconnected. This happened if sbp2_update() ran during sbp2_login(), because a bus reset occurred during sbp2_login(). The sbp2_login() work would [try to] reschedule itself because it failed due to the bus reset, and it would _not_ drop its reference on the target. However, sbp2_update() would schedule sbp2_login() too before sbp2_login() rescheduled itself and hence sbp2_update() would take an additional reference. And then we would have one reference too many. The fix is to _always_ drop the reference when leaving the sbp2_login() work. If the sbp2_login() work reschedules itself, it takes a reference, but only if it wasn't already rescheduled by sbp2_update(). Ditto in the sbp2_reconnect() work. The resulting code is actually simpler than before: We _always_ take a reference when successfully scheduling work. And we _always_ drop a reference when leaving a workqueue job. No exceptions.
