[SCSI] enclosure: fix WARN_ON in dual path device removing
Bug report from: wenxiong@linux.vnet.ibm.com The issue is happened in dual controller configuration. We got the sysfs warnings when rmmod the ipr module. enclosure_unregister() in drivers/msic/enclosure.c, call device_unregister() for each componment deivce, device_unregister() ->device_del()->kobject_del() ->sysfs_remove_dir(). In sysfs_remove_dir(), set kobj->sd = NULL. For each componment device, enclosure_component_release()->enclosure_remove_links()->sysfs_remove_link() in which checking kobj->sd again, it has been set as NULL when doing device_unregister. So we saw all these sysfs WARNING. Tested-by: wenxiong@linux.vnet.ibm.com Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org Signed-off-by: James Bottomley <JBottomley@Parallels.com>
