[SCSI] FC transport : Avoid device offline cases by stalling aborts until device unblocked
This moves the eh_timed_out functionality from the scsi_host_template to the transport_template. Given that this is now a transport function, the EH_RESET_TIMER case no longer caps the timer reschedulings. The transport guarantees that this is not an infinite condition.

1094/**
1095 * fc_timed_out - FC Transport I/O timeout intercept handler
1096 *
1097 * @scmd: The SCSI command which timed out
1098 *
1099 * This routine protects against error handlers getting invoked while a
1100 * rport is in a blocked state, typically due to a temporarily loss of
1101 * connectivity. If the error handlers are allowed to proceed, requests
1102 * to abort i/o, reset the target, etc will likely fail as there is no way
1103 * to communicate with the device to perform the requested function. These
1104 * failures may result in the midlayer taking the device offline, requiring
1105 * manual intervention to restore operation.
1106 *
1107 * This routine, called whenever an i/o times out, validates the state of
1108 * the underlying rport. If the rport is blocked, it returns
1109 * EH_RESET_TIMER, which will continue to reschedule the timeout.
1110 * Eventually, either the device will return, or devloss_tmo will fire,
1111 * and when the timeout then fires, it will be handled normally.
1112 * If the rport is not blocked, normal error handling continues.
1113 *
1114 * Notes:
1115 * This routine assumes no locks are held on entry.
