The problem has been identified to be a change in the scsi_remove_device
path where a call to the pm_runtime_set_memalloc_noio was added when
del_gendisk is called in this path. Note that the new pm routine
attempts to cycle through all parent devices from the FC target device
to set the memalloc_noio flag. Because of this new change, a dependency
was created between the FC target device and the parent netdev device
in the destroy path.
In order to synchronized the destroy paths, bnx2fc has been modified
to flush all destroy workqueues in the NETDEV_UNREGISTER return path.
