[SCSI] mpt2sas: Fix for dead lock occurring between host_lock and sas_device_lock
Fix for dead lock occurring between host_lock and sas_device_lock. The deadlock is between two spin locks, between the shost->host_lock and driver ioc->sas_device_lock. The fix is to rearrange the code in the FW/Driver device removal handshake so the ioc->sas_device_lock is not occurring when the shost->host_lock is taken.
