4.9-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Bart Van Assche <bart.vanassche@xxxxxxxxxxx> commit 7cb689fe42927281b8d98606ae5450173fcc66a9 upstream. Callers of scsi_dh_activate(), e.g. dm-mpath, assume that this function either returns an error code or calls the completion function. Make alua_activate() call the completion function even if scsi_device_get() fails.
