Current some drivers(like iscsi) call transport_register_device()
failed, they don't call transport_destroy_device() to release the
memory allocated in transport_setup_device(), because they don't
know what was done, it should be internal thing to release the
resource in register function. So fix this leak by calling destroy
function inside register function.

Fixes: 1da177e4c3f4 ("Linux-2.6.12-rc2")

Please use scripts/checkpatch.pl on your patches before sending them out
Sure, of course. :)
so you don't get grumpy maintainers asking you to use
scripts/checkpatch.pl on your patches :)
I sent a fix patch to iscsi system earlier:
https://patchwork.kernel.org/project/linux-scsi/patch/20221109092421.3111613-1-yangyingliang@xxxxxxxxxx/

Mike give his point in the mail, so I send a new patch keep iscsi maintainers Cced.

Thanks,
Yang

thanks,
