When queuing I/O request to LLD, STS_RESOURCE may be returned because: - Host is in recovery or blocked - Target queue throttling or target is blocked - LLD rejection In these scenarios BLK_STS_DEV_RESOURCE is returned to the block layer to avoid an unnecessary re-run of the queue. However, all of the requests queued to this SCSI device may complete immediately after reading 'sdev->device_busy' and BLK_STS_DEV_RESOURCE is returned to block layer. In that case the current I/O won't get a chance to get queued since it is invisible at that time for both scsi_run_queue_async() and blk-mq's RESTART. Fix the issue by not returning BLK_STS_DEV_RESOURCE in this situation.
