From: "Matthew R. Ochs" <mro...@linux.vnet.ibm.com>
Commit 888baf069f49 ("scsi: cxlflash: Add kref to context") introduced a
kref to the context. In particular, the detach routine was updated to use
the kref services for managing the removal and destruction of a context.
As part of this change, the tracking mechanism internal to the detach
handler was refactored. This introduced a bug that can cause the tracking
state to be lost. This can lead to a situation where exclusive access to a
context is prematurely [and unknowingly] relinquished for the executing
thread.
To remedy, only update the tracking state when the kref operation indicates
the context was removed.
