Does the patch below help ?

[PATCH] [SCSI] Silence queue cleanup code

Commit 3308511 causes the SCSI queue cleanup code to be invoked
for every killed queue. Since the SCSI scanning code can create
and destroy SCSI queues repeatedly while probing LUNs, the
following message can be printed several times during boot:

    scsi: killing requests for dead queue

This confuses users, so change the severity of that message to
KERN_DEBUG.
