Merge tag 'scsi-misc' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/jejb/scsi

Pull second round of SCSI updates from James Bottomley:
 "There's one late arriving patch here (added today), fixing a build
  issue which the scsi_dh patch set in here uncovered.  Other than that,
  everything has been incubated in -next and the checkers for a week.

  The major pieces of this patch are a set patches facilitating better
  integration between scsi and scsi_dh (the device handling layer used
  by multi-path; all the dm parts are acked by Mike Snitzer).

  This also includes driver updates for mp3sas, scsi_debug and an
  assortment of bug fixes"

* tag 'scsi-misc' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/jejb/scsi: (50 commits)
  scsi_dh: fix randconfig build error
  scsi: fix scsi_error_handler vs. scsi_host_dev_release race

  scsi_debug: resp_request: remove unused variable
  scsi_debug: fix REPORT LUNS Well Known LU
  scsi_debug: schedule_resp fix input variable check
  scsi_debug: make dump_sector static
  scsi_debug: vfree is null safe so drop the check
  scsi_debug: use SCSI_W_LUN_REPORT_LUNS instead of SAM2_WLUN_REPORT_LUNS;
  scsi_debug: define pr_fmt() for consistent logging
  mpt2sas: Refcount fw_events and fix unsafe list usage
  mpt2sas: Refcount sas_device objects and fix unsafe list usage
  scsi_dh: return SCSI_DH_NOTCONN in scsi_dh_activate()
  scsi_dh: don't allow to detach device handlers at runtime
