Suppose that, for unrelated reasons, FSF requests on behalf of recovery are
very slow and can run into the ERP timeout.

In the case at hand, we did adapter recovery to a large degree.  However
due to the slowness a LUN open is pending so the corresponding fc_rport
remains blocked.  After fast_io_fail_tmo we trigger close physical port
recovery for the port under which the LUN should have been opened.  The new
higher order port recovery dismisses the pending LUN open ERP action and
dismisses the pending LUN open FSF request.  Such dismissal decouples the
ERP action from the pending corresponding FSF request by setting
zfcp_fsf_req->erp_action to NULL (among other things)
[zfcp_erp_strategy_check_fsfreq()].

If now the ERP timeout for the pending open LUN request runs out, we must
not use zfcp_fsf_req->erp_action in the ERP timeout handler.  This is a
problem since v4.15 commit 75492a51 ("s390/scsi: Convert timers to use
timer_setup()"). Before that we intentionally only passed zfcp_erp_action
as context argument to zfcp_erp_timeout_handler().

Note: The lifetime of the corresponding zfcp_fsf_req object continues until
a (late) response or an (unrelated) adapter recovery.

Just like the regular response path ignores dismissed requests
[zfcp_fsf_req_complete() => zfcp_fsf_protstatus_eval() => return early] the
ERP timeout handler now needs to ignore dismissed requests.  So simply
return early in the ERP timeout handler if the FSF request is marked as
dismissed in its status flags.  To protect against the race where
zfcp_erp_strategy_check_fsfreq() dismisses and sets
zfcp_fsf_req->erp_action to NULL after our previous status flag check,
return early if zfcp_fsf_req->erp_action is NULL.  After all, the former
ERP action does not need to be woken up as that was already done as part of
the dismissal above [zfcp_erp_action_dismiss()].

This fixes the following panic due to kernel page fault in IRQ context:
