Every pNFS SCSI IO wants to do LAYOUTGET, then within the layout find the
device which can drive GETDEVINFO, then finally may need to prep the device
with a reservation. This slow work makes a mess of IO latencies if one of
the later steps is going to fail for awhile.
If we're unable to register a SCSI device, ensure we mark the device as
unavailable so that it will timeout and be re-added via GETDEVINFO. This
avoids repeated doomed attempts to register a device in the IO path.
Add some clarifying comments as well.

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 reStructuredText markup notation.
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.
