PATCH RESEND v2 1/1 Separate target visibility from reaped state information

Instead of representing the states "visible in sysfs" and "has been removed from the target list" by a single state variable, use two variables to represent this information.

This patch avoids that SCSI device removal can trigger a soft lockup.

* "scsi: restart list search after unlock in scsi_remove_target" (commit 40998193560d).
* "scsi_remove_target: fix softlockup regression on hot remove" (commit bc3f02a795d3).
