[PATCH v2 2/2] nvme_fc: correct io timeout behavior

[James Smart]

The transport io timeout behavior wasn't quite correct. It ignored
that the io error handler is supposed to be synchronous so it possibly
allowed the blk request to be restarted while the io associated was
still aborting. Timeouts on reserved commands, those used for
association create, were never timing out thus they hung out forever.

To correct:
If an io is times out while a remoteport is not connected, just
restart the io timer. The lack of connectivity will simultaneously
be resetting the controller, so the reset path will abort and terminate
the io.

If an io is times out while it was marked for transport abort, just
reset the io timer. The abort process is underway and will complete
the io.

Otherwise, if an io times out, abort the io. If the abort was
unsuccessful (unlikely) give up and return not handled.

If the abort was successful, as the abort process is underway it will
terminate the io, so rather than synchronously waiting, just restart
the io timer.
