Subject: [PATCH] scsi: core: Fix refcount leak for tagset_refcnt

This leak will cause a hang when tearing down the SCSI host. For example,
iscsid hangs with the following call trace:

[130120.652718] scsi_alloc_sdev: Allocation failure during SCSI scanning, some SCSI devices might not be configured
