[PATCH INNER] scsi: target: tcm_loop: Fix NULL ptr dereference

The TCM_LOOP LUN creation process calls device_register() to create the
device, which in turn invokes tcm_loop_driver_probe() registered with
the TCM_LOOP bus to create and register the scsi_host.
However, if the scsi_host memory allocation fails or scsi_add_host()
fails, the device_register() process still returns success.
Subsequently, when the user binds the LUN to a specific backend device,
it accesses the NULL or freed scsi_host.
Crash Call Trace:
RIP: 0010:scsi_is_host_device+0x7/0x20
scsi_alloc_target+0x32/0x2c0
__scsi_add_device+0x41/0xf0
scsi_add_device+0xd/0x30
tcm_loop_port_link+0x25/0x50 [tcm_loop]
target_fabric_port_link+0x9c/0xb0 [target_core_mod]
...
This issue is fixed by:
1. Setting the tcm_loop_hba's scsi_host to NULL, if
scsi_add_host() fails.
2. Checking the tcm_loop_hba's scsi_host after device_register().
