On a system with many SAS targets, it appears possible that a scsi_cmnd
can time out without ever making it to the SAS LLDD or at the same time
that a completion is occurring. In both of these cases, telling the
LLDD to abort the sas_task makes no sense because the LLDD won't know
about the sas_task; what we really want to do is to increase the timer.
Note that this involves creating another sas_task bit to indicate
whether or not the task has been sent to the LLDD; I could have
implemented this by slightly redefining SAS_TASK_STATE_PENDING, but
this way seems cleaner.
This second version amends the aic94xx portion to set the
TASK_AT_INITIATOR flag for all sas_tasks that were passed to
lldd_execute_task.
