[PATCH] fix potential return of uninitialized variable in scsi_scan (resend)

[Jesper Juhl <jesper.juhl@gmail.com>]

( The patch below was already send on March 9, 2006. )
( This is a resend, re-diff'ed against 2.6.16-rc6    )


The coverity checker found out that we potentially return sdev uninitialized.
This should fix coverity #879
