If scsi_target_block() fails that can break the code that calls this

If this is the only point to the previous change to make SCSI target
block return an error, why not put the WARN_ONCE in device_block? That
way you'll at least know which device was the problem.
Hi James,
Adding a WARN_ON_ONCE() statement in device_block() sounds like a good
idea to me. But since scsi_target_block() can fail, I think it should
have a return value that indicates whether or not it succeeded.
Bart.
