Subject: iscsid: clear scanning thread's PR_SET_IO_FLUSHER flag (#382)
Git-commit: 138a5306fc9238d0becf3cc8a5d90ca0b9d71f72
References: bsc#1235606

commit 72949ef (iscsid: set PR_SET_IO_FLUSHER) set the iscsid's
PR_SET_IO_FLUSHER flag to avoid deadlock. While we do not need
to set this flag when scanning host.

If this flag is set for scanning thread, we may lost devices
reported by target because of memory allocation failure.
