[PATCH] Fix race between starved list processing and device removal

[Bart Van Assche <bvanassche@acm.org>]

Avoid that the sdev reference count can drop to zero before
the queue is run by scsi_run_queue(). Also avoid that the sdev
reference count can drop to zero in the same function by invoking
__blk_run_queue().
