There is a way to pause/resume spdk pollers, however there is no way
to achieve that using public API for the given target which has
a hook behaving similar to pollers. Exposing such functionality can
be used for pausing and restoring target pollers during
reset, e.g. new commands should not be fetched to assure
that all internal resources can be cleared/reinitialized safety.
Pausing target poller during the reset will assure that, without
need for destroying transport or adding condition statements in IO path.
Similar use case might be hitless upgrade. Depending on implementation
there might be need that no new command can be submitted when
secondary processes are being switched to upgraded versions.
Pausing target pollers should be useful in this case.
