Four reasonably small fixes to the core for scsi host allocation failure paths. The root problem is that we're not freeing the memory allocated by dev_set_name(), which involves a rejig of may of the free on error paths to do put_device() instead of kfree which, in turn, has several other knock on ramifications and inspection turned up a few other lurking bugs.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
