scsi: hpsa: separate monitor events from rescan worker
create new worker thread to monitor controller events - both the rescan and event monitor workers can cause a rescan to occur however for multipath we have found that we need to respond faster than the normal scheduled rescan interval for path fail-overs. - getting controller events only involves reading a register, but the rescan worker can obtain an updated LUN list when there is a PTRAID device present. - move common code to a separate function. advantages: - detect controller events more frequently. - leave rescan thread interval at 30 seconds.
