Subject: [PATCH 5.4 79/84] scsi: core: Fix error handling of scsi_host_alloc()

From: Ming Lei <ming.lei@...hat.com>

commit 66a834d092930cf41d809c0e989b13cd6f9ca006 upstream.

After device is initialized via device_initialize(), or its name is set via
dev_set_name(), the device has to be freed via put_device().  Otherwise
device name will be leaked because it is allocated dynamically in
dev_set_name().

Fix the leak by replacing kfree() with put_device(). Since
scsi_host_dev_release() properly handles IDA and kthread removal, remove
special-casing these from the error handling as well.
