[SCSI] zfcp: Recover from stalled outbound queue

Browse source

Depending on interruptions on some storage systems, the complete
channel can stall which looks like an outbound queue stall to Linux.
When trying to acquire a free SBAL for a non-SCSI command, zfcp waits
for 5 seconds for a free slot to appear. This is the right place to
detect a queue stall: If the wait times out, we assume a stalled queue
and try to recover this.

The overall strategy should be to trigger the erp from specific
events, and not try an overall escalation from one failed port to a
full-blown queue recovery. If we manage to send a command, the status
codes for this command or a timeout will trigger the right follow-on
actions.
