Well, no, because that would lose us runtime error handling which is pretty essential for a flakey device like parport. Also, if you remove that callback, it will escalate to the reset handler, which does exactly the same thing with ppa_struct. I was originally looking at this as a reference counting problem, but there is another way of solving it and that's to stop requests and drain the queue before freeing the resources. It turns out that's exactly what scsi_remove_host() does (via __scsi_remove_device which calls blk_mq_destroy_queue) so, since there can't be any outstanding commands, it's actually impossible the delayed work queue is active after scsi_remove_host() is called and thus the original race you identified can't actually happen.
