[PATCH v3 3/3] scsi: core: Rework the code for dropping the LLD module reference

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

Instead of clearing the host template module pointer if the LLD kernel
module is being unloaded, set the 'drop_module_ref' SCSI device member.
This patch prepares for constifying the SCSI host template.
