[SCSI] Fix refcount breakage with 'echo "1" > scan' when target alrea…

Spotted by: Dan Aloni <da-xx@monatomic.org>

The problem is there's inconsistent locking semantic usage of
scsi_alloc_target().  Two callers assume the target comes back with
reference unincremented and the third assumes its incremented.  Fix by
always making the reference incremented on return.  Also fix path in
target alloc that could consistently increment the parent lock.
Finally document scsi_alloc_target() so its callers know what the
expectations are.
