Subject: Correct scsi_host_lookup return value
References: bnc#456532
Patch-mainline: not yet

In the scsi_generic_msg_handler routine it make a call to scsi_host_lookup and
checks the return value for NULL, but the scsi_host_lookup routine can return
an error when it fails instead of NULL. So when the scsi_host_lookup fails the
scsi_generic_msg_handler crashes the kernel with "BUG: unable to handle kernel
NULL pointer dereference at 00000000000000aa"
