Jun'ichi Nomura f4090d8272 SCSI: Fix dm-multipath starvation when scsi host is busy
commit b7e94a1686 upstream.

block congestion control doesn't have any concept of fairness across
multiple queues.  This means that if SCSI reports the host as busy in
the queue congestion control it can result in an unfair starvation
situation in dm-mp if there are multiple multipath devices on the same
host.  For example:
http://www.redhat.com/archives/dm-devel/2012-May/msg00123.html

The fix for this is to report only the sdev busy state (and ignore the
host busy state) in the block congestion control call back.
The host is still congested, but the SCSI subsystem will sort out the
congestion in a fair way because it knows the relation between the
queues and the host.
