we added support to set the deleted flag prior to device scan, then clear the flag for responding devices, leaving the deleted flag only set for missing devices. The problem is for internal generated host resets, IO queues are not blocked at scsi mid layer level. IO will be continued sent to driver, and driver will return SCSI_MLQUEUE_HOST_BUSY. The problem is the driver checks for the deleted flag before it checks for the controller being in reset, so there is a window where the driver would be returning DID_NO_CONNECT for responding devices. This occurs during the time between calling _scsih_prep_device_scan, and _scsih_mark_responding_sas_device & _scsih_mark_responding_raid_device. Fix the queuecommand entry point so ioc->shost_recovery flag sanity check is given higher presidence then the device "deleted flag" check.
