scsi_host_block() is actually too heavy for just avoiding
scsi internal command, which can be done simply by one atomic
variable.

Not mention scsi_host_block() is implemented too clumsy because
nr_luns * synchronize_rcu() are required in scsi_host_block(),
which should have been optimized to just one.

Also scsi_device_quiesce() is heavy too, still takes 2
synchronize_rcu() for one LUN.

That is said SCSI suspend may take (3 * nr_luns) sysnchronize_rcu() in
case that the HBA's suspend handler needs scsi_host_block().
