[SCSI] fix hot unplug vs async scan race



The following crash results from cases where the end_device has been
removed before scsi_sysfs_add_sdev has had a chance to run.

 BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at 0000000000000098
 IP: [<ffffffff8115e100>] sysfs_create_dir+0x32/0xb6
 ...
 Call Trace:

...teach scsi_sysfs_add_devices() to check for deleted devices() before
trying to add them, and teach scsi_remove_target() how to remove targets
that have not been added via device_add().
