    firewire: fw-sbp2: fix refcounting
    
    Since patch "fw-sbp2: use an own workqueue (fix system responsiveness)"
    increased parallelism between fw-sbp2 and fw-core, it was possible that
    fw-sbp2 didn't release the SCSI device when the FireWire device was
    disconnected.
    
    This happened if sbp2_update() ran during sbp2_login(), because a bus
    reset occurred during sbp2_login().  The sbp2_login() work would [try
    to] reschedule itself because it failed due to the bus reset, and it
    would _not_ drop its reference on the target.  However, sbp2_update()
    would schedule sbp2_login() too before sbp2_login() rescheduled itself
    and hence sbp2_update() would take an additional reference.  And then
    we would have one reference too many.
    
    The fix is to _always_ drop the reference when leaving the sbp2_login()
    work.  If the sbp2_login() work reschedules itself, it takes a
    reference, but only if it wasn't already rescheduled by sbp2_update().
    
    Ditto in the sbp2_reconnect() work.
    
    The resulting code is actually simpler than before:  We _always_ take
    a reference when successfully scheduling work.  And we _always_ drop
    a reference when leaving a workqueue job.  No exceptions.
