We currently hold the vhost_scsi_mutex the entire time we are running vhost_scsi_clear_endpoint. One of the reasons for this is that it prevents userspace from being able to free the se_tpg from under us after we have called target_undepend_item. However, it forces management operations for for other devices to have to wait on a flakey device's: vhost_scsi_clear_endpoint -> vhost_scsi_flush() call which can which can take a long time. This moves the target_undepend_item call and the tpg unsetup code to after we have stopped new IO from starting up and after we have waited on running IO. We can then release our refcount on the tpg and session knowing our device is no longer accessing them. We can then drop the vhost_scsi_mutex use during thee flush call in later patches in this set, when we have removed other reasons for holding it.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
