scsi: hpsa: correct race condition in offload enabled
Correct race condition where ioaccel is re-enabled before the raid_map is
updated. For RAID_1, RAID_1ADM, and RAID 5/6 there is a BUG_ON called which
is bad.
- Change event thread to disable ioaccel only. Send all requests down the
RAID path instead.
- Have rescan thread handle offload_enable.
- Since there is only one rescan allowed at a time, turning
offload_enabled on/off should not be racy. Each handler queues up a
rescan if one is already in progress.
- For timing diagram, offload_enabled is initially off due to a change
(transformation: splitmirror/remirror), ...
otbe = offload_to_be_enabled
oe = offload_enabled

T11 * BUG_ON
T0 - I/O completion with UA 0x3f 0x0e sets rescan flag.
T1 - rescan worker thread starts a rescan.
T2 - event comes in
T3 - event thread starts and issues "Acknowledge" message
...
T6 - rescan thread has bypassed code to reload new raid map.
...
T7 - event thread runs and sets offload_to_be_enabled
...
T9 - rescan thread turns on offload_enabled.
T10- request comes in and goes down ioaccel path.
T11- BUG_ON.
- After the patch is applied, ioaccel_enabled can only be re-enabled in
the re-scan thread.
