Thanks for this.  This is a lot of work.

The most recent successful allocation is scsi_host_alloc().  I was
really hoping this would say something like "goto err_free_host;" or
something.  The naming style here is a "come from" label which doesn't
say if it's going to free the scsi host or not...  It turns out we don't
free the the host, but we should:

err_put_host:
	scsi_host_put(host);

The kzalloc() has it's own error message built in, and all the other
error paths as well so the dev_err() is not super important to me...

Killing the threads seems actually really complicated so maybe we should
just have a separate error paths for that.  I'm not sure...
