[SCSI] fix slab corruption during ipr probe
With CONFIG_DEBUG_SLAB=y I see slab corruption messages during boot on
pSeries machines with IPR adapters with any 2.6.12-rc kernel.
The change which seems to have introduced the problem is "SCSI: revamp
target scanning routines" and may be found at:
http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=bk-commits-head&m=111093946426333&w=2
In order to revert that in a 2.6.12-rc1 tree, I had to revert "target
code updates to support scanned targets" first:
http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=bk-commits-head&m=111094132524649&w=2
With both patches reverted, the corruption messages go away.

I did some digging and the problem seems to be a refcounting issue in
__scsi_add_device. The target gets freed in scsi_target_reap, and
then __scsi_add_device tries to do another device_put on it.
