Subject: [PATCH 3.2 26/74] scsi: ses: do not add a device to an enclosure
 if enclosure_add_links() fails.

3.2.94-rc1 review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

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

From: Maurizio Lombardi <mlombard@...hat.com>

commit 62e62ffd95539b9220894a7900a619e0f3ef4756 upstream.

The enclosure_add_device() function should fail if it can't create the
relevant sysfs links.
