[SCSI] scsi_host regression: fix scsi host leak
commit 9c7701088a61cc0cf8a6e1c68d1e74e3cc2ee0b7 Author: Dave Young <hidave.darkstar@gmail.com> Date: Tue Jan 22 14:01:34 2008 +0800 scsi: use class iteration api Isn't a correct replacement for the original hand rolled host lookup. The problem is that class_find_child would get a reference to the host's class device which is never released. Since the host class device holds a reference to the host gendev, the host can never be freed. In 2.6.26 we started using class_find_device, and this function also gets a reference to the device, so we end up with an extra ref and the host will not get released. This patch adds a put_device to balance the class_find_device() get. I kept the scsi_host_get in scsi_host_lookup, because the target layer is using scsi_host_lookup and it looks like it needs the SHOST_DEL check.
