firewire: sbp2: remove obsolete reference counting



Since commit 0278ccd9 "firewire: sbp2:
fix panic after rmmod with slow targets", the lifetime of an sbp2_target
instance does no longer extent past the return of sbp2_remove().
Therefore it is no longer necessary to call fw_unit_get/put() and
fw_device_get/put() in sbp2_probe/remove().

Furthermore, said commit also ensures that lu->work is not going to be
executed or requeued at a time when the sbp2_target is no longer in use.
Hence there is no need for sbp2_target reference counting for lu->work.

Other concurrent contexts:

  - Processes which access the sysfs of the SCSI host device or of one
    of its subdevices are safe because these interfaces are all removed
    by scsi_remove_device/host() in sbp2_release_target().

  - SBP-2 command block ORB transactions are finished when
    scsi_remove_device() in sbp2_release_target() returns.

  - SBP-2 management ORB transactions are finished when
    cancel_delayed_work_sync(&lu->work) before sbp2_release_target()
    returns.
