Subject: [PATCH 3.16 019/305] Revert "scsi: fix soft lockup in
 scsi_remove_target() on module removal"

3.16.37-rc1 review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Johannes Thumshirn <jthumshirn@...e.de>

commit 305c2e71b3d733ec065cb716c76af7d554bd5571 upstream.

Now that we've done a more comprehensive fix with the intermediate
target state we can remove the previous hack introduced with commit
90a88d6ef88e ("scsi: fix soft lockup in scsi_remove_target() on module
removal").
