If a scsi host driver specifies .cmd_len in it's scsi_host_template, a driver's
private command pool is needed. scsi_find_host_cmd_pool() will locate it, but
scsi_alloc_host_cmd_pool() isn't saving the pool address in the host template.

This will result in an access error when the host is removed.

Avoid the problem by saving the address of a new allocated command pool where
it is expected.

I disagree I liked the V4 version better. It is much nicer on the review
that we NULL the same one we pass in with no need for context that's outside
of this scope

:-)

I'm fine with either version.
