[SCSI] Add missing completion to scsi_complete_async_scans()
If either scsi_complete_async_scans() is called a second time before the first call has finished, or a host scan is started while scsi_complete_async_scans() is still sleeping, it would fail to wake up the other task, which would sleep forever. I've changed the kernel-doc to make it clear that scsi_complete_async_scans() only guarantees that scans which started before it was called are guaranteed to have finished when it returns. I considered making it wait until all scans are completed, but it can't guarantee that no more scans will start before it returns anyway, and it runs the risk of confusing other callers of scsi_complete_async_scans() for hosts actually scanning.
