Currently we free the resources backing the enclosure device before we
call device_unregister(). This is racy: during rmmod of low-level SCSI
drivers that hook into enclosure, we end up with a small window of time
during which writing to /sys can OOPS. Example trace with mpt3sas:
general protection fault: 0000 [#1] SMP KASAN
Modules linked in: mpt3sas(-) <...>
RIP: [<ffffffffa0388a98>] ses_get_page2_descriptor.isra.6+0x38/0x220 [ses]

Fortunately the solution is extremely simple: call device_unregister()
before we free the resources, and the race no longer exists. The driver
core holds a reference over ->remove_dev(), so AFAICT this is safe.
