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.
