scsiback_free_translation_entry() shouldn't be called under spinlock,
as it can sleep.

This requires to split removing a translation entry from the v2p list
from actually calling kref_put() for the entry.

I would use LIST_HEAD(tmp_list);

so we just move all entries from head to tmp_list here to be processed...

... when the lock is not held, ok

Patch LGTM, but one (maybe stupid) question to clarify.

Why do we need to use a lock here in the first place? The 
scsiback_release_translation_entry() gets called when the driver 
instance is about to be removed and *after* the disconnection from 
otherend (so no requests are expected), so what else might cause this 
list to be accessed concurrently?

There is no need to initialize it, so I think I will keep it as is.

Maybe nothing, but I think it is good practice to keep the lock in order
to avoid future code changes to cause problems.

Thanks for the explanation, it sounds reasonable to me.
