The idea of the SCSI ioctl was to be async: issue reset and return.  Do
we have nothing in userspace that expects async behaviour? (if we have,
you could still add a flag or a new ioctl).

scsi_report_device_reset is the wrong place to do the wait: that's used
by low level device drivers to report that they've detected a bus reset
and is expected to return immediately.
