3.16.7-ckt4 -stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me
know.
------------------
From: Mikulas Patocka <mpato...@redhat.com>
commit 17181fb7a0c3a279196c0eeb2caba65a1519614b upstream.
As long as struct thin_c is in the list, anyone can grab a reference of
it. Consequently, we must wait for the reference count to drop to zero
*after* we remove the structure from the list, not before.
