scsi: core: Allow the ALUA transitioning state enough time
The error path for the SCSI check condition of not ready, target in ALUA state transition, will result in the failure of that path after the retries are exhausted. In most cases that is well ahead of the transition timeout established in the SCSI ALUA device handler. Instead, reprep the command and re-add it to the queue after a 1 second delay. This will allow the handler to take care of the timeout and only fail the path if the target has exceeded the transition expiry timeout (default 60 seconds). If the expiry timeout is exceeded, the handler will change the path state from transitioning to standby leading to a path failure eliminating the potential of this re-prep to continue endlessly. In most cases the target will exit the transitioning state well before the expiry timeout but after the retries are exhausted as mentioned. Additionally remove the scsi_io_completion_reprep() function which provides little value.
