Subject: [PATCH 3/3] firewire: fw-sbp2: retry login if scsi_device was
 offlined early

Fixes yet another "can't recognize device" bug.

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=428554#c16 :
If a bus reset happens after the login and SCSI INQUIRY succeeded ---
but before scsi_driver.init_command finished ---, SCSI core would take
the brand new scsi_device offline already, leaving the SBP-2 target
inaccessible.

The proper fix would be to allow sbp2_reconnect to happen in parallel to
__scsi_add_device.  This involves intrusive changes to fw-sbp2.  Until
then, we use the following simple workaround:  Check if the new sdev is
offline; if so, remove the device, logout, and let another login attempt
happen.

Signed-off-by: Stefan Richter <stefanr@...6.in-berlin.de>

Depends on patch 2/3.  Has yet to be tested by the Fedora bug reporter.
