Problem:
This is a work around for a bug with LSI Fusion MPT SAS2 when
pefroming secure erase. Due to the very long time the operation
takes commands issued during the erase will time out and will trigger
execution of abort hook. Even though the abort hook is called for
the specifc command which timed out this leads to entire device halt
(scsi_state terminated) and premature termination of the secured erase.

Fix:
Set device state to busy while erase in progress to reject any incoming
commands until the erase is done. The device is blocked any way during
this time and cannot execute any other command.
