Nagalakshmi was working on an mpt3sas patch for the scsi-mq tree
to do just that. I don't recall if the patch has made it into the
scsi-mq tree yet. Apparently it's also needed for non-mq and mpt2sas.

It is making this change:
> sas_remove_host(shost);
> + scsi_remove_host(shost);
> mpt3sas_base_detach(ioc);
> list_del(&ioc->list);
> - scsi_remove_host(shost);

We are making a similar change in hpsa. Doing so led to a general
protection fault, which unveiled that we also needed to change
cancel_delayed_work() calls to cancel_delayed_work_sync() to
ensure there are no worker functions still active after the
scsi_host structure is unregistered.
