The notification of scrub completion happens within the scrub workqueue.
That can clearly race someone running scrub_show() and work_busy()
before the workqueue has a chance to flush the recently completed work.
Add a flag to reliably indicate the idle vs busy state. Without this
change applications using poll(2) to wait for scrub-completion may
falsely wakeup and read ARS as being busy even though the thread is
going idle and then hang indefinitely.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
