Subject: [PATCH v2 3/3] common/scsi_debug: use the patient module remover

If you try to run tests such as generic/108 in a loop
you'll eventually see a failure, but the failure can
be a false positive and the test was just unable to remove
the scsi_debug module.

We need to give some time for the refcnt to become 0. For
instance for the test generic/108 the refcnt lingers between
2 and 1. It should be 0 when we're done but a bit of time
seems to be required. The chance of us trying to run rmmod
when the refcnt is 2 or 1 is low, about 1/30 times if you
run the test in a loop on linux-next today.

Likewise, even when its 0 we just need a tiny breather before
we can remove the module (sleep 10 suffices) but this is
only required on older kernels. Otherwise removing the module
will just fail.

Some of these races are documented on the korg#212337, and
Doug Gilbert has posted at least one patch attempt to try
to help with this [1]. The patch does not resolve all the
issues though, it helps though.
