[PATCH] scsi_scan.c : add missing interim SDEV_DEL state if slave_alloc fails

[James Smart <James.Smart@Emulex.Com>]

We were running i/o and performing a bunch of hba resets in a loop.
This forces a lot of target removes and rescans. Since the resets
are occuring during scan it's causing the scan i/o to timeout or fail,
invoking error recovery, etc.  We end up getting a nasty crash
in scsi_scan.c due to references to old sdevs that had some
lingering references that kept them around.

Fix by setting device state to SDEV_DEL if the LLD's slave_alloc
fails. This will fail reference taking in subsequent teardown/scan paths.
