[ Upstream commit 978b7922d3dca672b41bb4b8ce6c06ab77112741 ]

If there is a race between scsi_done() and scsi_timeout() and if
scsi_timeout() loses the race, scsi_timeout() should not reset the request
timer. Hence change the return value for this case from BLK_EH_RESET_TIMER
into BLK_EH_DONE.

Although the block layer holds a reference on a request (req->ref) while
calling a timeout handler, restarting the timer (blk_add_timer()) while a
request is being completed is racy.
