Subject: [patch 03/38] [SCSI] scsi_dh: fix reference counting in scsi_dh_activate error path

2.6.38-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let us know.

------------------

From: Mike Snitzer <snitzer@...hat.com>

commit 0b8393578c70bc1f09790eeae7d918f38da2e010 upstream.

Commit db422318cbca55168cf965f655471dbf8be82433 ([SCSI] scsi_dh:
propagate SCSI device deletion) introduced a regression where the device
reference is not dropped prior to scsi_dh_activate's early return from
the error path.
