[SCSI] libsas: Clean up discovery failure handler code
sas_rphy_delete does two things: it removes the sas_rphy from the transport layer and frees the sas_rphy. This can be broken down into two functions, sas_rphy_remove and sas_rphy_free; sas_rphy_remove is of interest to sas_discover_root_expander because it calls functions that require sas_rphy_add as a prerequisite and can fail (namely sas_discover_expander). In that case, sas_discover_root_expander needs to be able to undo the effects of sas_rphy_add yet leave the job of freeing the sas_rphy to the caller of sas_discover_root_expander. This patch also removes some unnecessary code from sas_discover_end_dev to eliminate an unnecessary cycle of sas_notify_lldd_gone/found for SAS devices, thus eliminating a sas_rphy_remove call (and fixing a race condition where a SCSI target scan can come in between the gone and found call). It also moves the sas_rphy_free calls into sas_discover_domain and sas_ex_discover_end_dev to complement the sas_rphy_allocation via sas_get_port_device. This patch does not change the semantics of sas_rphy_delete. Signed-off-by: Darrick J. Wong <djwong@us.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: James Bottomley <James.Bottomley@SteelEye.com>
