[SCSI] aacraid: forced reset override

Some of our vendors have requested that our adapters ignore the hardware
reset attempts during recovery and have enforced this with changes in
Adapter Firmware. Some of our customers have requested the option to be
able to reset the adapter under adverse adapter failure, we even had a
few defects reported here considering it a regression that the Adapter
could not be reset. This patch addresses this dichotomy. The user can
force the adapter to be reset if it supports the IOP_RESET_ALWAYS
command, in cases where the adapter has been programmed to ignore the
reset, by setting the aacraid.check_reset parameter to a value of -1.

The driver will not reset an Adapter that does not support the reset
command(s).

This patch also fixes and cleans up some of the logic associated with
resetting the adapter.
