I'm happy with adding KASSERT(), as I don't believe LIST_FOREACH_SAFE()
will be safe there, as disk_gone() itself doesn't prevent the function
to be called for two different disks, but one geom. LIST_FOREACH_SAFE()
make it safe to remove only the current element. If any other elements
is removed while we are traversing the list it will most likely panic.
