Subject: [PATCH v3] scsi: xen-scsifront: add error handling for xenbus_printf

When xenbus_printf fails, the lack of error-handling code may
cause unexpected results.

This patch adds error-handling code after calling xenbus_printf.

v1->v2:
- Fix dereferencing before checking
v2->v3:
- Use xenbus_dev_error to report errors.
