Which kernel version is this patch based on?

If it's a fix for a patch that hasn't landed yet, please indicate this.
A "Fixes: ..." tag should be added to this patch as well.

I looked at linux.git/master commit f69d02e37a85645aa90d18cacfff36dba370f797 and see this:

  static int __init vhost_scsi_init(void)
  {
          int ret = -ENOMEM;

          pr_debug("TCM_VHOST fabric module %s on %s/%s"
                  " on "UTS_RELEASE"\n", VHOST_SCSI_VERSION, utsname()->sysname,
                  utsname()->machine);

          /*
           * Use our own dedicated workqueue for submitting I/O into
           * target core to avoid contention within system_wq.
           */
          vhost_scsi_workqueue = alloc_workqueue("vhost_scsi", 0, 0);
          if (!vhost_scsi_workqueue)
                  goto out;

We need ret's initialization value here ^

          ret = vhost_scsi_register();
          if (ret < 0)
                  goto out_destroy_workqueue;

          ret = target_register_template(&vhost_scsi_ops);
          if (ret < 0)
                  goto out_vhost_scsi_deregister;

          return 0;

  out_vhost_scsi_deregister:
          vhost_scsi_deregister();
  out_destroy_workqueue:
          destroy_workqueue(vhost_scsi_workqueue);
  out:
          return ret;
  };
