scsi: mpi3mr: Add support for recovering controller
Detection of firmware fault or any kind of unresponsiveness in the controller (any admin command which times out) results in resetting the controller. The primary reset mechanisms used are either soft reset or diag fault reset. A reset is performed if the host sets the ResetAction field in the HostDiagnostic register to either 001b (soft reset) or 007b (diag fault reset). After successfully resetting the controller the driver reinitializes the controller by going through start of the day initialization procedure. Pending I/Os during the reset are returned back to the SCSI midlayer for retry.
