Subject: [PATCH v5 3/4] [SCSI] sg: checking sdp->detached isn't protected when open

@detached is set under the protection of sg_index_lock. Without getting the
lock, new sfp will be added during sg removal and there is no chance for it
to be picked out. So check with sg_index_lock held in sg_add_sfp().

Changes from v4:
 * use ERR_PTR series instead of adding another parameter in sg_add_sfp
