Hi.

Experimenting with SATA hot-plug I've found quite repeatable deadlock
case. Problem observed when several SATA devices, opened via devfs,
disappear at exactly same time. In my case, at time of unplugging SATA
Port Multiplier with several disks beyond it. All I have to do is to run
several `dd if=/dev/adaX of=/dev/null bs=1m &` commands and unplug
multiplier. That causes predictable I/O errors and devices destruction.
But with high probability several dd processes getting stuck in kernel.

I've discovered such pieces of problem:
- CAM receives disconnect event and starts device destruction. But as
device is still opened, it can't do it immediately.
- dd receives I/O error and exits.
- exit1() call closes all descriptors, including adaX device. It
triggers final device destruction, by sending event to geom_dev.

- GEOM event thread tries to destroy /dev/adaX device (which should be
already free at this moment), but for some reason freezes, waiting for
device to be freed:

    0     2     0   0  -8  0      0      8 devdrn DL    ??    0:02.89
[g_event]

- as GEOM event is still not handled, exit1() waits for it:

- system stationary. GEOM frozen. No way to get out of this, except
pushing reset.

So, does anybody have good idea why destroy_dev() can't complete?
