Subject: [PATCH 4.14 090/119] scsi: ch: Make it possible to open a ch device multiple times again

From: Bart Van Assche <bvanassche@....org>

commit 6a0990eaa768dfb7064f06777743acc6d392084b upstream.

Clearing ch->device in ch_release() is wrong because that pointer must
remain valid until ch_remove() is called. This patch fixes the following
crash the second time a ch device is opened:

BUG: kernel NULL pointer dereference, address: 0000000000000790
RIP: 0010:scsi_device_get+0x5/0x60
