James Bottomley 6f4267e3bd [SCSI] Update the SCSI state model to allow blocking in the created state ...

Brian King <brking@linux.vnet.ibm.com> reported that fibre channel
devices can oops during scanning if their ports block (because the
device goes from CREATED -> BLOCK -> RUNNING rather than CREATED ->
BLOCK -> CREATED).

Fix this by adding a new state: CREATED_BLOCK which can only transition
back to CREATED and disallow the CREATED -> BLOCK transition.  Now both
the created and blocked states that the mid-layer recognises can include
CREATED_BLOCK.
