[PATCH 3.16 031/134] scsi: scsi_error: count medium access timeout only once per EH run

From: Hannes Reinecke <hare@suse.de>

commit 7a38dc0bfb4cc39ed57e120e2224673f3d4d200f upstream.

The current medium access timeout counter will be increased for
each command, so if there are enough failed commands we'll hit
the medium access timeout for even a single device failure and
the following kernel message is displayed:

sd H:C:T:L: [sdXY] Medium access timeout failure. Offlining disk!

Fix this by making the timeout per EH run, ie the counter will
only be increased once per device and EH run.

Fixes: 18a4d0a ("[SCSI] Handle disk devices which can not process medium access commands")
