When scsi_add_host_with_dma() return failure, the caller will call
scsi_host_put(shost) to release everything allocated for this host
instance. So we can't free allocated stuff in scsi_add_host_with_dma(),
otherwise double free will be caused.

Strictly speaking, these host resources allocation should have been
moved to scsi_host_alloc(), but the allocation may need driver's
info which can be built between calling scsi_host_alloc() and
scsi_add_host(), so just keep the allocations in
scsi_add_host_with_dma().

Fixes the problem by relying on host device's release handler to
release everything.
