Revert "scsi: Fix a bdi reregistration race"

Bart Van Assche · James Bottomley · commit e619e6cbecb7 · 2015-12-02T11:53:44.000-08:00
The SCSI sd driver probes SCSI devices asynchronously. The sd_remove() function, called indirectly by device_del(), waits until asynchronous probing has finished. Since the block layer queue must only be cleaned up after probing has finished, device_del() has to be called before blk_cleanup_queue(). Hence revert commit bf2cf3b.
