scsi: ufs: add reference counting for scsi block requests
Currently we call the scsi_block_requests()/scsi_unblock_requests() whenever we want to block/unblock scsi requests but as there is no reference counting, nesting of these calls could leave us in undesired state sometime. Consider following call flow sequence: 1. func1() calls scsi_block_requests() but calls func2() before calling scsi_unblock_requests() 2. func2() calls scsi_block_requests() 3. func2() calls scsi_unblock_requests() 4. func1() calls scsi_unblock_requests() As there is no reference counting, we will have scsi requests unblocked after #3 instead of it to be unblocked only after #4. Though we may not have failures seen with this, we might run into some failures in future. Better solution would be to fix this by adding reference counting.
