scsi: core: avoid repetitive logging of device offline messages
Large queues of I/O to offline devices that are eventually submitted when devices are unblocked result in a many repeated "rejecting I/O to offline device" messages. These messages can fill up the dmesg buffer in crash dumps so no useful prior messages remain. In addition, if a serial console is used, the flood of messages can cause a hard lockup in the console code. Introduce a flag indicating the message has already been logged for the device, and reset the flag when scsi_device_set_state() changes the device state.
