SCSI: sd: fix bug in SCSI async probing

commit 601e7638254c118fca135af9b1a9f35061420f62 upstream.

The async split up of probing in sd.c created a potential failure case where
something goes wrong with device_add(), but which we don't recover properly.
Since, in general, asynchronous error handling is hard, move the device_add()
into the asynchronous path (it should be fast) and make sure all the deferred
processing cannot fail.
