[SCSI] fix wrong context bugs in SCSI

There's a bug in releasing scsi_device where the release function
actually frees the block queue.  However, the block queue release
calls flush_work(), which requires process context (the scsi_device
structure may release from irq context).  Update the release function
to invoke via the execute_in_process_context() API.

Also clean up the scsi_target structure releasing via this API.
