What happens if there were no commands for the device that
was destroyed and we race with this code and device deletion?

So thread1 has set the device state tp SDEV_DEL and has finished
blk_mq_destroy_queue because there were no commands running.

The above eh thread, then is calling:

scsi_run_queue -> blk_mq_kick_requeue_list

and that queues the requeue work.

blk_mq_destroy_queue had done blk_mq_cancel_work_sync but
blk_mq_kick_requeue_list just added it back on the kblockd_workqueue.

When __scsi_iterate_devices does scsi_device_put it would call
scsi_device_dev_release and call blk_put_queue which frees the
request_queue while it's requeue work might still be queued on
kblockd_workqueue.
