Previous commit 04b5b5cb0136 ("scsi: core: Fix possible memory leak if
device_add() fails") introduced a double free when device_add() failed.
When device_add() failed, the put_device(&rc->dev) is called, which will
call raid_component_release(), and this function will call
put_device(rc->dev.parent) and kfree(rc), but in the error path of
raid_component_release() above two functions are called again, so 'rc' are
freed twice.

We do not just revert the patch, since the memory allocated by
dev_set_name() is not released in the error path, it should be released
through calling put_device(&rc->dev) which will call kobject_cleanup(),
and the device name will be released in it. Though the commit 04b5b5cb0136
("scsi: core: Fix possible memory leak if device_add() fails") fixed the
memory leak, it didn't consider the double free problem. We removed
put_device(rc->dev.parent) and kfree(rc) in the error path, and we moved
put_device(&rc->dev) after rd->component-count--, since after
put_device(&rc->dev) is called, 'rc' is freed, so list_del(&rc->node)
cannot be called again.

Please consider replacing the above patch by the patch below:

[PATCH] scsi: Remove raid_component_add()

The raid_component_add() function was added to the kernel tree via
patch "[SCSI] embryonic RAID class" (2005). Remove this function since
it never has had any callers in the Linux kernel.
