      [SCSI] ch: fix device minor number management bug · da707c54
      FUJITA Tomonori authored
      ch_probe uses the total number of ch devices as minor.
      
      ch_probe:
      	ch->minor = ch_devcount;
      ...
      	ch_devcount++;
      
      Then ch_remove decreases ch_devcount:
      
      ch_remove:
      	ch_devcount--;
      
      If you have two ch devices, sch0 and sch1, and remove sch0,
      ch_devcount is 1. Then if you add another ch device, ch_probe tries to
      create sch1. So you get a warning and fail to create sch1:

      This patch converts ch to use a standard minor number management way,
      idr like sg and bsg.
