[PATCH 2/3] scsi: sg: reset 'res_in_use' after unlinking reserved array

From: Hannes Reinecke <hare at suse.de>

Once the reserved page array is unused we can reset the 'res_in_use'
state; here we can do a lazy update without holding the mutex as we only
need to check against concurrent access, not concurrent release.

[mkp: checkpatch]
