[PATCH] scsi: libsas: Handle errors in sas_ex_discover_expander()

Message-ID <[email protected]>
The function sas_ex_discover_expander() does not account for the
potential failure of sas_port_alloc() for phy->port. It also calls
BUG_ON in case sas_port_add fails for phy->port. Add a check for
phy->port after sas_port_alloc() where if it is NULL, it cleans up the
child allocated device and returns NULL. Add another check for
sas_port_add() where if it returns an error code it frees phy->port,
sets it to NULL, cleans up the child allocated device, and returns NULL.
