scsi: storvsc: Allow only one remove lun work item to be issued per lun
When running multipath on a VM if all available paths go down the driver
can schedule large amounts of storvsc_remove_lun work items to the same
lun. In response to the failing paths typically storvsc responds by
taking host->scan_mutex and issuing a TUR per lun. If there has been
heavy IO to the failed device all the failed IOs are returned from the
host. A remove lun work item is issued per failed IO. If the outstanding
TURs have not been completed in a timely manner the scan_mutex is never
released or released too late. Consequently the many remove lun work
items are not completed as scsi_remove_device also tries to take
host->scan_mutex. This results in dragging the VM down and sometimes
completely.
This patch only allows one remove lun to be issued to a particular lun
while it is an instantiated member of the scsi stack.
