So we should have a scan host attribute for that.

I don't think it makes sense as a /sysfs/bus/scsi attribute. Having
it as a scsi_device attribute makes lots of sense, I just wonder whether
the non-symmetric interface would confuse users. Probably not too much
as scannaing a bus an deleting a device isn't really a symmetric interface
anyway.`
