[PATCH 3/6] Fix unsafe sas_device_list usage

From: Calvin Owens
Date: Mon Jun 08 2015 - 23:52:25 EST


We cannot iterate over the list without holding a lock for the entire
duration, or we risk corrupting random memory if items are added or
deleted as we iterate.

This refactors code such that it always holds the lock when iterating
on or accessing the sas_device_list.
