[PATCH] [SCSI] mptsas: enable driver multi-threaded probe

[PATCH] [SCSI] mptsas: enable driver multi-threaded probe

[Joe Jin]

When server installed some mptsas controller, kernel took long time to
initialized and probe the disks. This patch will create a probe thread for
each device.

By our test, server with 4 LSI controllers, after applied this patch, saved
40s(60 vs 20) for boot time.
