[PATCH] scsi_dh_rdac: Fix for unbalanced reference count

From: Moger, Babu
Date: Thu Feb 02 2012 - 10:22:31 EST


Resubmitting it again(Probably last one had some format issues).

This patch fixes an unbalanced refcount issue.

Elevating the lock for both kref_put and also for controller node deletion.
Previously, controller deletion was protected but the not the kref_put. This was causing
the other thread to pick up the controller structure which was already kref'd zero.

This was causing the following BUG_ON and also sometimes panic.
