[PATCH 1/2] scsi_dh: Allow NULL hardware handler name in scsi_dh_attach()

[Hannes Reinecke <hare@xxxxxxx>]

This patch allows to pass in a NULL hardware handler to
scsi_dh_attach(), causing the reference count of the existing
hardware handler to be increased.
An error will be returned if no hardware handler is attached.
