[PATCH 7/11] rsxx: Fixes DLPAR add kernel panic if partition stillmounted.

From: Philip J. Kelleher

From: Philip J Kelleher <pjk1939@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

A kernel panic would occur on a DLPAR add if there was a partition
still mounted during the DLPAR remove. This bug fix will allow the
user to unmount the partition and bring the driver back into a
good state after the DLPAR add.
