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.
