scsi: async sd resume
async_schedule() sd resume work to allow disks and other devices to resume in parallel. This moves the entirety of scsi_device resume to an async context to ensure that scsi_device_resume() remains ordered with respect to the completion of the start/stop command. For the duration of the resume, new command submissions (that do not originate from the scsi-core) will be deferred (BLKPREP_DEFER). It adds a new ASYNC_DOMAIN_EXCLUSIVE(scsi_sd_pm_domain) as a container of these operations. Like scsi_sd_probe_domain it is flushed at sd_remove() time to ensure async ops do not continue past the end-of-life of the sdev. The implementation explicitly refrains from reusing scsi_sd_probe_domain directly for this purpose as it is flushed at the end of dpm_resume(), potentially defeating some of the benefit. Given sdevs are quiesced it is permissible for these resume operations to bleed past the async_synchronize_full() calls made by the driver core. We defer the resolution of which pm callback to call until scsi_dev_type_{suspend|resume} time and guarantee that the callback parameter is never NULL. With this in place the type of resume operation is encoded in the async function identifier. There is a concern that async resume could trigger PSU overload. In the enterprise, storage enclosures enforce staggered spin-up regardless of what the kernel does making async scanning safe by default. Outside of that context a user can disable asynchronous scanning via a kernel command line or CONFIG_SCSI_SCAN_ASYNC. Honor that setting when deciding whether to do resume asynchronously.
