The latest kernel fails to boot qemu arm images when using scsi
for disk access. Boot gets stuck after the following messages.

Bisect points to commit 71e75c97f97a ("scsi: convert device_busy to
atomic_t"). Code inspection shows the following suspicious change
in scsi_request_fn.

out_delay:
-       if (sdev->device_busy == 0 && !scsi_device_blocked(sdev))
+       if (atomic_read(&sdev->device_busy) && !scsi_device_blocked(sdev))
                blk_delay_queue(q, SCSI_QUEUE_DELAY);
        }

'sdev->device_busy == 0' was replaced with 'atomic_read(&sdev->device_busy)',
meaning the logic was reversed. Changing this expression to
'!atomic_read(&sdev->device_busy)' fixes the problem.
