Subject: scsi: ch: Make it possible to open a ch device multiple times again
Git-commit: 6a0990eaa768dfb7064f06777743acc6d392084b
Patch-mainline: v5.4-rc5
References: git-fixes

Clearing ch->device in ch_release() is wrong because that pointer must
remain valid until ch_remove() is called. This patch fixes the following
crash the second time a ch device is opened:

BUG: kernel NULL pointer dereference, address: 0000000000000790
RIP: 0010:scsi_device_get+0x5/0x60
