Subject: [PATCH RESEND] remove the queue unlock in scsi_requset_fn

We don't need to unlock the queue before put_device in scsi_request_fn()
If we trigger the ->remove() function, It occur a oops from the caller.
So sdev reference count should not be dropped to zero here.
Also It was added before scsi_device_dev_release() was moved
to user context, so it is outdated.
