__scsi_remove_device() in scsi_forget_host() is executed out of scan_mutex
and races with scsi_destroy_sdev() <- scsi_sysfs_add_devices() <-
scsi_finish_async_scan().  The result is use after free and/or double
free, oops.

The fix is simple, move scsi_forget_host() under scan_mutex.

scsi_forget_host() is just sequence of __scsi_remove_device().  All
another calls of __scsi_remove_device() are made under scan_mutex.  So
that it is safe.
