reorder call in scsi_remove_host

This patch against scsi-misc-2.6 reorders a call to scsi_forget_host in the scsi_remove_host function. This removes the error message "Synchronizing SCSI cache..." on rmmod of a scsi host driver module as shown in example output 1 and 2 below.

I had previous created a much more complicated patch to work around this problem. In response Christoph mention a simpler solution (pointer to thread below) which is this patch.
