scsi: Rework handling of scsi_device.vpd_pg8[03] Introduce struct scsi_vpd for the VPD page length, data and the RCU head that will be used to free the VPD data. Use kfree_rcu() instead of kfree() to free VPD data. Move the VPD buffer pointer check inside the RCU read lock in the sysfs code. Only annotate pointers that are shared across threads with __rcu. Use rcu_dereference() when dereferencing an RCU pointer. This patch suppresses about twenty sparse complaints about the vpd_pg8[03] pointers. This patch also fixes a race condition, namely that updating of the VPD pointers and length variables in struct scsi_device was not atomic with reference to the code reading these variables. See also "Does the update code tolerate concurrent accesses?" in Documentation/RCU/checklist.txt.
