Subject: scsi: core: Ensure that the SCSI error handler gets woken up

From: Bart Van Assche <bart.vanassche@wdc.com>

commit 3bd6f43f5cb3714f70c591514f344389df593501 upstream.

If scsi_eh_scmd_add() is called concurrently with
scsi_host_queue_ready() while shost->host_blocked > 0 then it can
happen that neither function wakes up the SCSI error handler. Fix
this by making every function that decreases the host_busy counter
wake up the error handler if necessary and by protecting the
host_failed checks with the SCSI host lock.
