Subject: [SCSI] fix duplicate removal on error path in
 scsi_sysfs_add_sdev

From: Alan Stern <[email protected]>

commit ee37e09d81a4acf328f68189af12f116401f8c0f upstream.

This patch (as1335) fixes a bug in scsi_sysfs_add_sdev().  Its callers
always remove the device if anything goes wrong, so it should never
remove the device.
