Re: [PATCH 05/31] Make __scsi_remove_device go straight from BLOCKED to DEL

If a device is blocked, make __scsi_remove_device() cause it to
transition to the DEL state. This means that all the commands
issued in .shutdown() will error in the mid-layer, thus making
the removal proceed without being stopped.

This patch is a slightly modified version of a patch from James
Bottomley. This patch avoids that the following lockup occurs:
