Dan Williams b1124cd3ec [SCSI] libsas: introduce sas_drain_work()
When an lldd invokes ->notify_port_event() it can trigger a chain of libsas
events to:

  1/ form the port and find the direct attached device

  2/ if the attached device is an expander perform domain discovery

A call to flush_workqueue() will only flush the initial port formation work.
Currently libsas users need to call scsi_flush_work() up to the max depth of
chain (which will grow from 2 to 3 when ata discovery is moved to its own
discovery event).  Instead of open coding multiple calls switch to use
drain_workqueue() to flush sas work.

drain_workqueue() does not handle new work submitted during the drain so
libsas needs a bit of infrastructure to hold off unchained work submissions
while a drain is in flight.  A lldd ->notify() event is considered 'unchained'
while a sas_discover_event() is 'chained'.  As Tejun notes:

  "For now, I think it would be best to add private wrapper in libsas to
   support deferring unchained work items while draining."
