[SCSI] don't kfree an initialized struct device
This patch (as1359) fixes a bug in scsi_alloc_target(). After a device structure has been initialized (and especially after its name has been set), it must not be freed directly. One has to call put_device() instead. Signed-off-by: Alan Stern <stern@rowland.harvard.edu> Signed-off-by: James Bottomley <James.Bottomley@suse.de>
