Sending a 'REPORT TARGET PORT GROUP' command is a costly operation,
as the array has to gather information about all ports.
So instead of using RTPG to poll for a status update when a port
is in transitioning we should be sending a TEST UNIT READY, and
wait for the sense code to report success.

The extra state variabe doesn't really help you as it might be stale
just as quickly.

But otherwise looks fine:
