    SCSI: fix race in device_create

    There is a race from when a device is created with device_create() and
    then the drvdata is set with a call to dev_set_drvdata() in which a
    sysfs file could be open, yet the drvdata will be NULL, causing all
    sorts of bad things to happen.

    This patch fixes the problem by using the new function,
    device_create_drvdata().  It fixes the problem in all of the scsi
    drivers that need it.

The problem is ch_probe stores ch's private data at a wrong place.

We need to store it at scsi_device->sdev_gendev but the above patch
stores it at device struct that device_create_drvdata returns. So we
hit an oops when ch_remove accesses
scsi_device->sdev_gendev->driver_data, which is NULL.

Actually, there wasn't a race because ch doesn't create sysfs files
with device struct that device_create returns. This patch puts back
dev_set_drvdata() to set ch's private data properly.
