scsi: lpfc: Implement health checking when aborting I/O
Several errors have occurred where the adapter stops or fails but does not
raise the register values for the driver to detect failure. Thus driver is
unaware of the failure. The failure typically results in I/O timeouts, the
I/O timeout handler failing (after several seconds), and the error handler
escalating recovery policy and resulting in more errors. Eventually, the
driver is in a position where things have spiraled and it can't do recovery
because other recovery ops are still outstanding and it becomes unusable.
Resolve the situation by having the I/O timeout handler (actually a els,
SCSI I/O, NVMe ls, or NVMe I/O timeout), in addition to aborting the I/O,
perform a mailbox command and look for a response from the hardware. If
the mailbox command fails, it will mark the adapter offline and then invoke
the adapter reset handler to clean up.
The new I/O timeout test will be limited to a test every 5s. If there are
multiple I/O timeouts concurrently, only the 1st I/O timeout will generate
the mailbox command. Further testing will only occur once a timeout occurs
after a 5s delay from the last mailbox command has expired.
