[SCSI] libsas: Reset timer on taskless scsi_cmnds in sas_scsi_timed_out

Every so often, a scsi_cmnd will time out, and the libsas timeout handler
will discover that the scsi_cmnd does not have a sas_task attached to it.
This can happen in two cases: (1) the scsi_cmnd actually made it through
libsas to the HBA and is now going through scsi_done, or (2) the
scsi_cmnd has been held up (host lock, slab alloc, etc) and libsas has
not yet attached a sas_task.  In both cases, it is safe to ask SCSI for
more time to process the command via EH_RESET_TIMER; we cannot blindly
return EH_HANDLED because if (2) happens, we could end up calling
scsi_done while another CPU is heading towards sas_queuecommand, which
causes slab corruption when sas_task_done updates the freed scsi_cmnd.
