Subject: IB/srp: Fix reconnection failure handling

From: Bart Van Assche <[email protected]>

commit a44074f14ba1ea0747ea737026eb929b81993dc3 upstream.

Although it is possible to let SRP I/O continue if a reconnect results in a reduction of the number of channels, the current code does not handle this scenario correctly. Instead of making the reconnect code more complex, consider this as a reconnection failure.
