[RFC PATCH v2] scsi: ufs: Quiesce all scsi devices before shutdown

Currently I/O request could be still submitted to UFS device while
UFS is working on shutdown flow. This may lead to racing as below
scenarios and finally system may crash due to unclocked register
accesses.

To fix this kind of issues, specifically quiesce all SCSI devices
before UFS shutdown to block all I/O request sending from block
layer.

Example of racing scenario: While UFS device is runtime-suspended

Thread #1: Executing UFS shutdown flow, e.g.,
           ufshcd_suspend(UFS_SHUTDOWN_PM)
Thread #2: Executing runtime resume flow triggered by I/O request,
           e.g., ufshcd_resume(UFS_RUNTIME_PM)

This breaks the assumption that UFS PM flows can not be running
concurrently and some unexpected racing behavior may happen.
