[SCSI] limit state transitions in scsi_internal_device_unblock

scsi timeout on two or more devices may cause extremely long execution
time for user applications because SDEV_OFFLINE state is changed to
SDEV_RUNNING state during scsi error recovery procedures triggered by
a bus reset or a host reset of scsi LLD, and scsi timeout can happens
on the same devices many times.

This happens because scsi_internal_device_unblock() changes device's
state to SDEV_RUNNING even if a device in other states than SDEV_BLOCK,
while the following two transitions are required in this function.

  SDEV_BLOCK -> SDEV_RUNNING
  SDEV_CREATED_BLOCK -> SDEV_CREATED

Otherwise, it returns -EINVAL.
