When the ODD is powered off, any action the user did to the ODD that
would generate a media event will trigger an ACPI interrupt, so the
poll for media event is no longer necessary. And the poll will also
cause a runtime status change, which will stop the ODD from staying in
powered off state, so the poll should better be stopped.

But since we don't have access to the gendisk structure in LLDs, here
comes the event_driven flag for scsi device. This flag serves as a
capability of the device, conveyed by the LLDs to upper layer. It is set
when LLDs know that this device will no longer generate any media
related events, so that the check_events can simply return 0 without
bothering the device, effectively silence the poll.

Again, synchronization.  Also, wouldn't something more explicit like
disable_disk_events better suited?

Thanks.
