[SR: This happens because sbp2_target_get/put() do not maintain module references. scsi_device_get/put() do, but at occasions like Chris describes one, nobody holds a reference to an SBP-2 sdev.] This patch cancels pending work for each unit in sbp2_remove(), which hopefully means there are no extra references around that prevent us from unloading. This fixes my crash.
