This patch implements q->lld_busy_fn() for scsi mid layer to export its busy state. Please note that it checks the cached information (sdev->lld_busy) for efficiency, instead of checking the actual state of sdev/starget/shost everytime. So the care must be taken not to leave sdev->lld_busy = 1 for the following cases: - when there is no request in the sdev queue - when scsi can't dispatch I/Os anymore and needs to kill I/Os Otherwise, request stacking drivers may not submit any request, and then, nobody sets back lld_busy = 0 and that causes deadlock. OTOH, it has no major problem in setting sdev->lld_busy = 0 even when the starget/shost is actually busy, because newly submitted request will soon turn it to 1 in scsi_request_fn().
