We can not make sure no scsi_cmnd remain unfinished after 
scsi_block_when_processing_errors(). For example, there is a
command has been dispatched but it's not timeouted when removing
device, no error happened. After scsi_device is set to SDEV_CANCEL,
the removing process would be blocked by del_gendisk() because there
is still a request.

Then the request timeout and abort failed, error handle would be 
triggered, now scsi_device is SDEV_CANCEL.

The error handle would skip this scsi_device when doing device reset.
