There is a race condition in virtscsi_handle_event, when many device
hotplug/unplug events flush in quickly.
The scsi_remove_device in virtscsi_handle_transport_reset may trigger
the BUG_ON in scsi_target_reap, because the state is altered behind it,
probably by scsi_scan_host of another event. I'm able to reproduce it by
repeatedly plugging and unplugging a scsi disk with the same lun number.
To make is safe, a single thread workqueue local to the module is added
which runs the scan work. With this change, the panic goes away.
