This patch change scsi mid layer to export its busy status.
Not set the busy flag, when scsi can't dispatch I/Os anymore and
needs to kill I/Os. Otherwise, request stacking drivers may hold
requests forever.

You might want to check if the starget busy too (scsi-misc has this but Jens's tree and linus do not)? The code below that I snipped from scsi_request_fn will set the congested bits if scsi_target_queue_ready returns 0, so above here you would want to clear it if it not congested anymore.

if (unlikely(scsi_host_in_recovery(shost) &&
(shost->host_failed || shost->host_eh_scheduled)))
scsi_eh_wakeup(shost);
spin_unlock(shost->host_lock);

spin_unlock_irqrestore(sdev->request_queue->queue_lock, flags);
}
