The TCM_LOOP LUN creation process calls device_register() to create the
device, which in turn invokes tcm_loop_driver_probe() registered with
the TCM_LOOP bus to create and register the scsi_host.
However, if the scsi_host memory allocation fails or scsi_add_host()
fails, the device_register() process still returns success.
Subsequently, when the user binds the LUN to a specific backend device,
it accesses the NULL or freed scsi_host.

Crash Call Trace:
  RIP: 0010:scsi_is_host_device+0x7/0x20
  scsi_alloc_target+0x32/0x2c0
  __scsi_add_device+0x41/0xf0
  scsi_add_device+0xd/0x30
  tcm_loop_port_link+0x25/0x50 [tcm_loop]
  target_fabric_port_link+0x9c/0xb0 [target_core_mod]
  ...

This issue is fixed by:
  1. Setting the tcm_loop_hba's scsi_host to NULL, if
     scsi_add_host() fails.
  2. Checking the tcm_loop_hba's scsi_host after device_register().
