[PATCH 3.16.y-ckt 063/126] scsi: restart list search after unlock in scsi_remove_target

[Luis Henriques]

3.16.7-ckt21 -stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

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

From: Christoph Hellwig <hch at lst.de>

commit 40998193560dab6c3ce8d25f4fa58a23e252ef38 upstream.

When dropping a lock while iterating a list we must restart the search
as other threads could have manipulated the list under us.  Without this
we can get stuck in an endless loop.  This bug was introduced by

    [SCSI] scsi_remove_target: fix softlockup regression on hot remove

Which was itself trying to fix a reported soft lockup issue

http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.kernel/1348679

However, we believe even with this revert of the original patch, the soft
lockup problem has been fixed by

    [SCSI] dual scan thread bug fix

Thanks go to Dan Williams <dan.j.williams at intel.com> for tracking all this
prior history down.
