Kiyoshi Ueda 6c5121b78b [SCSI] export busy state via q->lld_busy_fn() ...

This patch implements q->lld_busy_fn() for scsi mid layer to export
its busy state for request stacking drivers.

For efficiency, no lock is taken to check the busy state of
shost/starget/sdev, since the returned value is not guaranteed and
may be changed after request stacking drivers call the function,
regardless of taking lock or not.

When scsi can't dispatch I/Os anymore and needs to kill I/Os
(e.g. !sdev), scsi needs to return 'not busy'.
Otherwise, request stacking drivers may hold requests forever.
