[PATCH 4.4 10/49] scsi: ignore errors from scsi_dh_add_device()

[Greg Kroah-Hartman]

4.4-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Hannes Reinecke <hare@xxxxxxx>

commit 221255aee67ec1c752001080aafec0c4e9390d95 upstream.

device handler initialisation might fail due to a number of
reasons. But as device_handlers are optional this shouldn't
cause us to disable the device entirely.
So just ignore errors from scsi_dh_add_device().
