[PATCH 19/20] [SCSI] mpt3sas: When device is blocked followed by unblock fails, unfreeze the I/Os

[Sreekanth Reddy]

Issue: When the disks are getting discovered and assigned device handles by the kernel, a device block followed by an unblock (due to broadcast primitives) issued by the driver is interspersed by the kernel changing the state of the device. Therefore the unblock by the driver results in a no operation within the kernel API.

To fix this one, the below patch checks the return of the unblock API and performs a block followed by an unblock to unfreeze the block layer's I/O queue. Sufficient checks and prints are also added in the driver to identify this condition caused by the kernel.
