[PATCH] possible use-after-free of bio
There is a possibility that a bio will be accessed after it has been freed
on SCSI. It happens if you submit a bio with BIO_SYNC marked and the
auto-unplugging kicks the request_fn, SCSI re-enables interrupts in-between
so if the request completes between the add_request() in __make_request()
and the bio_sync() call, we could be looking at a dead bio. It's a slim
race, but it has been triggered in the Real World.
So assign bio_sync() to a local variable instead.
