scsi: core: Remove the /proc/scsi/${proc_name} directory earlier

[ Upstream commit fc663711 ]

Remove the /proc/scsi/${proc_name} directory earlier to fix a race
condition between unloading and reloading kernel modules. This fixes a bug
introduced in 2009 by commit 77c01976 ("[SCSI] fix /proc memory leak in
the SCSI core").

Fix the following kernel warning:
