scsi: utilize new cdev_device_add helper function
This driver did not set kobj.parent so it likely suffered from a potential use after free race if the user unregistered the device while it was in use. This was not so straightforward a conversion but I think this patch cleans up its probe's error path significantly. This patch adds device_initialize, which is required for cdev_device_add. Then it switches to put_device instead of kfree as recommended by device_initialize's documentation. This removes a lot from the error path which was already in __remove. A couple things needed to be re-ordered to be entirely correct, though. ida_remove is also moved out of __remove and into unregister to simplify things and follow the pattern other devices are using. This also drop an extra unnecessary get_device/put_device in the code. Signed-off-by: Logan Gunthorpe <logang@deltatee.com> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@linuxfoundation.org>
