    [SCSI] libsas: Clean up discovery failure handler code · 6f63caae

    sas_rphy_delete does two things: it removes the sas_rphy from the transport
    layer and frees the sas_rphy.  This can be broken down into two functions,
    sas_rphy_remove and sas_rphy_free; sas_rphy_remove is of interest to
    sas_discover_root_expander because it calls functions that require
    sas_rphy_add as a prerequisite and can fail (namely sas_discover_expander).
    In that case, sas_discover_root_expander needs to be able to undo the effects
    of sas_rphy_add yet leave the job of freeing the sas_rphy to the caller of
    sas_discover_root_expander.
    
    This patch also removes some unnecessary code from sas_discover_end_dev
    to eliminate an unnecessary cycle of sas_notify_lldd_gone/found for SAS
    devices, thus eliminating a sas_rphy_remove call (and fixing a race condition
    where a SCSI target scan can come in between the gone and found call).
    It also moves the sas_rphy_free calls into sas_discover_domain and
    sas_ex_discover_end_dev to complement the sas_rphy_allocation via
    sas_get_port_device.
    
    This patch does not change the semantics of sas_rphy_delete.
