Subject: scsi: scsi_dh_alua: Check scsi_device_get() return value

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

commit 625fe857e4fac6518716f3c0ff5e5deb8ec6d238 upstream.

Do not queue ALUA work nor call scsi_device_put() if the
scsi_device_get() call fails. This patch fixes the following crash:
