scsi: sd: Fix potential NULL pointer dereference
If sd_probe() sees an early error before sdkp->device is initialized,
sd_zbc_release_disk() is called. This causes a NULL pointer dereference
when sd_is_zoned() is called inside that function. Avoid this by removing
the call to sd_zbc_release_disk() in sd_probe() error path.
This change is safe and does not result in zone information memory leakage
because the zone information for a zoned disk is allocated only when
sd_revalidate_disk() is called, at which point sdkp->disk_dev is fully set,
resulting in sd_disk_release() being called when needed to cleanup a disk
zone information using sd_zbc_release_disk().
