A scan work can run simultaneously with fc_remote_port_delete(). If a scsi device is added to the ->__devices list in the scan work, it can be touched and will be blocked in scsi_target_block(), and QUEUE_FLAG_STOPPED will be setted to the scsi device's request queue. But unfortunately, this flag will not be cleared when the scsi device is being setted to the SDEV_RUNNING state in the end of the scan work. After that, all the requests sending to the device will be blocked. Fix this by flushing the scan work before blocking the device.
