Don't we need to free the associated memory before assigning to NULL?
Alternatively can allocation be made with devm_ APIs instead?

So IIUC, if ufs_bsg_probe() fails for one of the hba instances in the
list, then we fail to create bsg device for all remaining instances that
follow, which seems too harsh.
