Subject: [PATCH v2] scsi: Delete scsi_{get,free}_host_dev()

Since commit 0653c358d2dc ("scsi: Drop gdth driver"), functions
scsi_{get,free}_host_dev() no longer have any in-tree users, so delete
them.

Nacked-by: Hannes Reinecke <hare@...e.de>
Reviewed-by: Bart Van Assche <bvanassche@....org>
---
An alt agenda of this patch is to get clarification on whether this API
should be used for Hannes' reserved commands series.

Originally the recommendation was to use it, but now it seems to be to
not use it:
