This modification does not guarantee that ufs has entered shutdown before
evicting the key. Drivers should not make assumptions about the behavior
of user access.

If ufs has entered shutdown, evicting key flow will return -EBUSY.

The host_sem is held in suspend/resume, shutdown and err hander flow, so I
think host_sem is used to mutually exclude host controller power failure
and access.
