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.
