PATCH 1/1 fusion: hold off error recovery while alternate ioc is initializing

Fusion FC chips are two function with some shared resources. During initialization of one function its driver inhibits the ability of the other function's driver to allocate message frames by clearing its "active" flag. Should mid-layer error recovery be initiated for a scsi command during this initialization (which can take many seconds) error recovery will escalate to the level of host reset. This host reset might fail resulting in all connected targets being taken offline.

This patch holds off mid-layer error recovery for up to 60 seconds to permit initialization of the other function to complete.

Applies to scsi-misc.
