What appears to be happening is that something has pinned the target
so it can't go into STARGET_DEL via final release and the loop in
scsi_remove_target spins endlessly until that happens.

The fix for this soft lockup is to not keep looping over a device that
we've called remove on but which hasn't gone into DEL state.  This
patch will retain a simplistic memory of the last target and not keep
looping over it.
