If the SCSI INQUIRY failed and hence __scsi_add_device failed due to a bus reset, we tried a logout and then waited for the already scheduled login work to happen. So far so good, but the generation used for the logout was outdated, hence the logout never reached the target. The target might therefore deny the subsequent relogin attempt, which would also leave the target inaccessible. Therefore fetch a fresh device->generation for the logout. Use memory barriers to prevent our plan being foiled by compiler or hardware optimizations.
