Hi all, this is a modified patch of my earlier patch 'Restart scsi_device_lookup_by_target'. After discussions with Matthew Wilcox and James B. it turned out that it's actually better to skip deleted devices from __scsi_device_lookup_by_target(), leaving scsi_device_lookup_by_target() untouched. So here it goes. James, please apply.

Skip deleted devices in __scsi_device_lookup_by_target() __scsi_device_lookup_by_target() will always return the first sdev with a matching LUN, regardless of the state. However, when this sdev is in SDEV_DEL scsi_device_lookup_by_target() will ignore this device and so any valid device on the list after the deleted device will never be found. So we have to modify __scsi_device_lookup_by_target() to skip any device in SDEV_DEL.
