[ INFO: possible circular locking dependency detected ]

-------------------------------------------------------
kslowcrw/83 is trying to acquire lock:
 (&adapter->scan_work){+.+.+.}, at: [<0000000000169c5c>] __cancel_work_timer+0x64/0x3d4

but task is already holding lock:
 (&zfcp_data.config_mutex){+.+.+.}, at: [<00000000004671ea>] zfcp_ccw_remove+0x66/0x384

which lock already depends on the new lock.

the existing dependency chain (in reverse order) is:

cancel_work_sync is called while holding the config_mutex. But the
work that is being cancelled or flushed also uses the config_mutex.
Fix the resulting deadlock possibility by calling cancel_work_sync
earlier without holding the mutex. The best place to do is is after
offlining the device.  No new port scan work will be scheduled for the
offline device, so this is a safe place to call cancel_work_sync.
