There is a race condition during hotplug when iothread is used. It
occurs because virtio-scsi may be processing command queues in the
iothread while the monitor performs SCSI device hotplug.
When a SCSI device is hotplugged the HotplugHandler->plug() callback is
invoked and virtio-scsi emits a rescan event to the guest.
If the guest submits a SCSI command at this point then it may be
cancelled before hotplug completes. This happens because ->reset() is
called by hw/core/qdev.c:device_set_realized() after
HotplugHandler->plug() has been called and
hw/scsi/scsi-disk.c:scsi_disk_reset() purges all requests.
This patch uses the new HotplugHandler->post_plug() callback to emit the
rescan event after ->reset(). This eliminates the race conditions where
requests could be cancelled.
