If transport_register_device returns error, shost_gendev has already been cleaned up - however since we ignore the error device setup continues happily. We will eventually call transport_unregister_device, attempting to delete shost_gendev again, resulting in a crash. It looks like when this cleanup behavior was added, iscsi was updated, but scsi was missed.
