This patch is rebased on top of recently sent 18 patches(submitted by me) for
megaraid_sas driver.
Change the return value of wait_and_poll() and megsas_issue_blocked_cmd()
based on MFI_STAT returned by firmware for that command. Earlier driver always
send return type based on command completion (but never check MFI_STAT_OK for
that command), so even if command is failed by firmware still driver will
return SUCCESS status from these functions wait_and_poll() and
megsas_issue_blocked_cmd() and if caller of these functions does not check
command status (MFI_STAT), then it may endup using invalid data returned in
DMA buffers(one of the example is megasas_ld_list_query DCMD). Best thing to
avoid this type of issue is do error handling and set proper return type from
caller function wait_and_poll() and megsas_issue_blocked_cmd().
The change proposed in this patch will fix the regression introduced in patch-
"90dc9d9 megaraid_sas : MFI MPT linked list corruption fix" inside function
megasas_ld_list_query(). Prior to this MFI MPT linked list corruption fix
patch, megasas_ld_list_query() function used to check DCMD status(returned by
firmware) but with this linked list corruption fix patch, DCMD status will not
be checked inside function megasas_ld_list_query() and introduced this issue
of wrong data being used by function megasas_ld_list_query().
