PATCH 1/1 ipr: move setting of the allow_restart flag for vsets and disks
A problem was found where the call to scsi_add_device() fails intermittently for an adapter. This is caused when __scsi_add_device() returns -ENODEV as a result of not calling scsi_probe_and_add_lun() since the call to scsi_host_scan_allowed() fails. scsi_host_scan_allowed() fails because the adapter state is set to SHOST_RECOVERY instead of SHOST_RUNNING. The state of the adapter is being set to SHOST_RECOVERY by scsi_eh_scmd_add() during error handling.
This problem is avoided by moving the setting of the allow_restart flag to later in the device initialization sequence. This prevents further error handling if we get a NOT_READY response from a TUR command by causing scsi_check_sense() to return SUCCESS. Therefore, scsi_eh_scmd_add() will not run and the adapter state will remain as SHOST_RUNNING.
