2.6.30-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let us know. ------------------ From: James Bottomley commit 601e7638254c118fca135af9b1a9f35061420f62 upstream. The async split up of probing in sd.c created a potential failure case where something goes wrong with device_add(), but which we don't recover properly. Since, in general, asynchronous error handling is hard, move the device_add() into the asynchronous path (it should be fast) and make sure all the deferred processing cannot fail.
