ping ... the problem fixed by this patch still affects the upstream kernel
(v3.16-11383-gc9d2642) as well as -next (20140815).

The latest kernel fails to boot qemu arm images when using scsi

Bisect points to commit 71e75c97f97a ("scsi: convert device_busy to
atomic_t"). Code inspection shows the following suspicious change
in scsi_request_fn.
out_delay:
- if (sdev->device_busy == 0 && !scsi_device_blocked(sdev))
+ if (atomic_read(&sdev->device_busy) && !scsi_device_blocked(sdev))
blk_delay_queue(q, SCSI_QUEUE_DELAY);
}
'sdev->device_busy == 0' was replaced with 'atomic_read(&sdev->device_busy)',
meaning the logic was reversed. Changing this expression to
'!atomic_read(&sdev->device_busy)' fixes the problem.
