scsi: proper state checking and module refcount handling in scsi_device_get
This effectively reverts commits 85b6c7 ("[SCSI] sd: fix cache flushing on module removal (and individual device removal)" and dc4515ea ("scsi: always increment reference count"). We now never call scsi_device_get from the shutdown path, and the fact that we started grabbing reference there in commit 85b6c7 turned out turned out to create more problems than it solves, and required workarounds for workarounds for workarounds. Move back to properly checking the device state and carefully handle module refcounting.
