scsiback_disconnect() drains the in-flight count before stopping the only
thing that can raise it.  scsiback_cmd_exec() (xen-scsiback.c:426) runs in
the backend's threaded IRQ handler, so a request can be admitted just after
wait_event() has seen zero, and its response is written later from target
core context by scsiback_send_response() (:347) - after the ring has been
unmapped, and on the scsiback_remove() path (:1268-1280) after kfree(info).

xen-blkback and xen-netback stop their request processing first:
kthread_stop() before reading ring->inflight
(xen-blkback/xenbus.c:290-304), and the kthreads and napi before
unbinding and unmapping (xen-netback/interface.c:673-700).

Unbind and clear info->irq before the drain: nothing is admitted once the
handler is gone, and the ring stays mapped until the drain finishes.  The
notify at the end of scsiback_send_response() is then a no-op, because
notify_remote_via_irq() resolves irq 0 through evtchn_from_irq() to port 0,
which VALID_EVTCHN() rejects (events_base.c:539-545, :411-421).

Reproduced in a nested-Xen lab with KASAN.  Reaching the window needed two
test-only usleep_range() delays, one after wait_event() returns and one at
the top of scsiback_do_resp_with_sense() once the teardown has started.
With both off neither arm produced anything in 4 rounds each; with both on
the unpatched driver crashed in 6 of 6 valid cells, the patched in 0 of 7:
