Doing it after the setting the deleted (SDEV_DEL) is probably better.
You are going to add it scsi_remove_device which is where SDEV_DEL is
set so might as well call it after.

Previously we could not call into the LLDD as prior to this call we have
stopped the queucommand from being called (SHOST_CANCEL is set) and the
error handler is not running.
