Moger, Babu 3569e5374d [SCSI] scsi_dh_rdac: Fix for unbalanced reference count
This patch fixes an unbalanced refcount issue.

Elevating the lock for both kref_put and also for controller node deletion.
Previously, controller deletion was protected but the not the kref_put. This
was causing the other thread to pick up the controller structure which was
already kref'd zero.

This was causing the following WARN_ON and also sometimes panic.
