[dm-devel] [PATCH] scsi_dh_alua: Requeue another not ready check condition at ML

[Stewart, Sean]

This allows the sd driver to retry commands like read capacity until a
LUN is ready, rather than giving up after three retries.

In NetApp E-Series, a controller can return not ready like this when it
quiesces I/O on the controller that just came on the network, during a
firmware upgrade procedure, and retrying the command at the midlayer
will allow the discovery to complete, successfully.
