Defer processing of REQ_PREEMPT requests for blocked devices
commit bba0bdd7ad4713d82338bcd9b72d57e9335a664b upstream.
SCSI transport drivers and SCSI LLDs block a SCSI device if the
transport layer is not operational. This means that in this state
no requests should be processed, even if the REQ_PREEMPT flag has
been set. This patch avoids that a rescan shortly after a cable
pull sporadically triggers the following kernel oops:
