4.4-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Hannes Reinecke <h...@suse.de>

commit eb72d0bb84eee5d0dc3044fd17b75e7101dabb57 upstream.

sd_check_events() is called asynchronously, and might race
with device removal. So always take a disk reference when
processing the event to avoid the device being removed while
the event is processed.
