This I would expect to block. But it may be unwise to block this long.

	online = scsi_device_online(sdev);

	SCSI_LOG_ERROR_RECOVERY(5, printk("%s: rtn: %d\n", __func__,
					  online));

	return online;

Why this? It seems to me for purpose of autosuspend an offlined device
should be totally ignored.
