There is a null-ptr-deref issue reported by KASAN:

BUG: KASAN: null-ptr-deref in target_alloc_device+0xbc4/0xbe0 [target_core_mod]
...
 kasan_report+0xb9/0xf0
 target_alloc_device+0xbc4/0xbe0 [target_core_mod]

...
 entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe+0x76/0x7e

In target_alloc_device(), if allocing memory for dev queues fails, then
dev will be freed by dev->transport->free_device(), but dev->transport
is not initialized at that time, which will lead to a null pointer
reference problem.

Fixing this bug by freeing dev with hba->backend->ops->free_device().
