scsi: Replace scsi_bus_new() with scsi_bus_init(), scsi_bus_init_named()
The function scsi_bus_new() creates a new SCSI bus; callers can
either pass in a name argument to specify the name of the new bus, or
they can pass in NULL to allow the bus to be given an automatically
generated unique name. Almost all callers want to use the
autogenerated name; the only exception is the virtio-scsi device.
Taking a name argument that should almost always be NULL is an
easy-to-misuse API design -- it encourages callers to think perhaps
they should pass in some standard name like "scsi" or "scsi-bus". We
don't do this anywhere for SCSI, but we do (incorrectly) do it for
other bus types such as i2c.
The function name also implies that it will return a newly allocated
object, when it in fact does in-place allocation. We more commonly
name such functions foo_init(), with foo_new() being the
allocate-and-return variant.
Replace all the scsi_bus_new() callsites with either:
* scsi_bus_init() for the usual case where the caller wants
an autogenerated bus name
* scsi_bus_init_named() for the rare case where the caller
needs to specify the bus name
and document that for the _named() version it's then the caller's
responsibility to think about uniqueness of bus names.
