[SCSI] zfcp: Recover from stalled outbound queue
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.
