[SCSI] Add timeout to avoid infinite command retry
Currently, scsi error handling in scsi_io_completion() tries to
unconditionally requeue scsi command when device keeps some error state.
For example, UNIT_ATTENTION causes infinite retry with
action == ACTION_RETRY.
This is because retryable errors are thought to be temporary and the scsi
device will soon recover from those errors. Normally, such retry policy is
appropriate because the device will soon recover from temporary error state.
But there is no guarantee that device is able to recover from error state
immediately. Some hardware error can prevent device from recovering.
This patch adds timeout in scsi_io_completion() to avoid infinite command
retry in scsi_io_completion(). Once scsi command retry time is longer than
this timeout, the command is treated as failure.
