Currently read from missing device triggers rescan. However, it is never recorded that the device is missing. So, each read of a missing device triggers rescan again and again. This behavior causes a lot of unneeded rescans leading to huge slowdowns. This patch fixes above mentioned issue. Information about missing devices is stored in the data->devices_attached[] array as NULL value in dev member. Rescan is triggered only if no information is found for a given device. This means that only first time read triggers rescan. The patch drops premature return. This way data->devices_attached[] is filled even when a given device is missing.
