[SCSI] scsi_dh: Change the scsidh_activate interface to be asynchronous
Make scsi_dh_activate() function asynchronous, by taking in two additional parameters, one is the callback function and the other is the data to call the callback function with. Signed-off-by: Chandra Seetharaman <sekharan@us.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: James Bottomley <James.Bottomley@suse.de>
