This is the right idea, I think, but not necessarily the right fix.
scsi_device_get() will fail if the device is going offline, but we would
still need to run the queues.

try this sequence instead:

get_device(&sdev->sdev_gendev);
scsi_put_command(cmd);
scsi_run_queue(q);
put_device(&sdev->sdev_gendev);
