Hi all,

This series is a mpt3sas LLD forward port of Calvin Owens' for-next
reference counting bugfix series for mpt2sas LLD code.

His latest patch series can be found here:

[PATCH v4 0/2] Fixes for memory corruption in mpt2sas
http://marc.info/?l=linux-scsi&m=143951695904115&w=2

The differences between mpt2sas + mpt3sas in this area are very
small, and the changes are required to address a class of long
standing NULL pointer dereference bugs through-out both LLDs.

With Calvin's changes in place for mpt3sas, the original NULL
pointer dereference OOPsen during probe with a failed HDD appear
to be resolved, and so far no new regressions have been reported
with -v1 series code.

The -v1 series code for mpt3sas has been tested on v3.14.47 with
40x SAS3008 HBAs, with three preceeding upstream mpt3sas patches:

4dc06fd mpt3sas: delay scsi_add_host call to work with scsi-mq
35b6236 mpt3sas: combine fw_event_work and its event_data
62c4da4 mpt3sas: correct scsi_{target,device} hostdata allocation

Please review.

-v2 changes:
  - Fix _scsih_block_io_device() v4.3-rc0 brekage
  - Fix mpt3sas_transport_port_add() v4.3-rc0 breakage
