Subject: scsi: scsi_dh_alua: Ensure that alua_activate() calls the completion function

From: Bart Van Assche <[email protected]>

commit 7cb689fe42927281b8d98606ae5450173fcc66a9 upstream.

Callers of scsi_dh_activate(), e.g. dm-mpath, assume that this function either returns an error code or calls the completion function. Make alua_activate() call the completion function even if scsi_device_get() fails.
