[PATCH 7/7] Remove get_device() / put_device() pair from scsi_request_fn()

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

Since all scsi_request_fn() callers hold a reference on the
SCSI device that function is invoked for and since
blk_cleanup_queue() waits until scsi_request_fn() has finished
it is safe to remove the get_device() / put_device() pair from
scsi_request_fn().
