When the iscsi class was added upstream blocking a queue was fast because it just set some flag bits and didn't handle IO that was in the process of being sent to the driver. That's no longer the case so blocking a queue is expensive and we can end up with a backlog of blocks by the time we have relogged in and are trying to start the queues. For the session unblock case, this has try to cancel the block and recovery work in case they are still queued so we can avoid unneeded queue manipulations. For removal we also now try to cancel all the recovery related works since a couple lines down we will set the session and device state so running those functions are not necessary.
