[SCSI] scsi_scan: Fix 'Poison overwritten' warning caused by using freed 'shost'
In do_scan_async(), calling scsi_autopm_put_host(shost) may reference
freed shost, and cause Posison overwitten warning.
Yes, this case can happen, for example, an USB is disconnected just
when do_scan_async() thread starts to run, then scsi_host_put() called
in scsi_finish_async_scan() will lead to shost be freed(because the
refcount of shost->shost_gendev decreases to 1 after USB disconnects),
at this point, if references shost again, system will show following
warning msg.
To make scsi_autopm_put_host(shost) always reference a valid shost,
put it just before scsi_host_put() in function
scsi_finish_async_scan().
