Logan Gunthorpe ac1ddc584e scsi: utilize new cdev_device_add helper function
This driver did not set kobj.parent so it likely suffered from
a potential use after free race if the user unregistered the
device while it was in use.

This was not so straightforward a conversion but I think this patch
cleans up its probe's error path significantly.

This patch adds device_initialize, which is required for
cdev_device_add. Then it switches to put_device instead of kfree as
recommended by device_initialize's documentation. This removes a lot
from the error path which was already in __remove.
A couple things needed to be re-ordered to be entirely correct, though.
ida_remove is also moved out of __remove and into unregister to
simplify things and follow the pattern other devices are using.

This also drop an extra unnecessary get_device/put_device in the code.

Linux kernel
============

This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst

Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users.
These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
