Subject: IB/srp: Stop the scsi_eh_<n> and scsi_tmf_<n> threads if login fails

From: Bart Van Assche <bart.vanassche@sandisk.com>

commit bc44bd1d864664f3658352c6aaaa02557d49165d upstream.

scsi_host_alloc() not only allocates memory for a SCSI host but also
creates the scsi_eh_<n> kernel thread and the scsi_tmf_<n> workqueue.
Stop these threads if login fails by calling scsi_host_put().

Reported-by: Konstantin Krotov <kkv@clodo.ru>
Fixes: fb49c8bbaae7 ("Remove an extraneous scsi_host_put() from an error path")
