If we went into sas_rediscover_dev() the attached_sas_addr was already insured not to be zero. So it's unnecessary to check if the attached_sas_addr is zero. And although if the sas address is not changed, we always have to unregister the old device when we are going to register a new one. We cannot just leave the device there and bring up the new.
