This patch (as545) fixes the list traversals in __scsi_remove_target and
scsi_forget_host. In each case the existing code list_for_each_entry_safe
in an _unsafe_ manner, because the list was not protected from outside
modification while the iteration was running.
The new scsi_forget_host routine takes the moderately controversial step
of iterating over devices for removal rather than iterating over targets.
This makes more sense to me because the current scheme treats targets as
second-class citizens, created and removed on demand, rather than as
objects corresponding to actual hardware. (Also I couldn't figure out any
safe way to iterate over the target list, since it's not so easy to tell
when a target has already been removed.)

This patch (as544) adds a private entry point to scsi_remove_device, for
use when callers already own the scan_mutex. The appropriate callers are
modified to use the new entry point.

- add a comment to the device structure that the device_busy field
is now protected by the request_queue->queue_lock
- null out sdev->request_queue after the queue is released to trap
any (and there shouldn't be any) use after the queue is freed.

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.
Let it rip!
