ndctl/scrub: Reread scrub-engine status at start
Given that the kernel has exponential backoff to cover the lack of
interrupts for scrub completion status there is a reasonable likelihood
that 'ndctl start-scrub' is issued while the hardware/platform scrub-state
is idle, but the kernel engine poll timer has not fired.
Trigger at least one poll cycle for the kernel to re-read the scrub-state
before reporting that ARS is busy.
