Subject: [PATCH v2 2/2] scsi: storvsc: Add support for FC lightweight host.

Included in the current storvsc driver for Hyper-V is the ability
to access luns on an FC fabric via a virtualized fiber channel
adapter exposed by the Hyper-V host. This was done to provide an
interface for existing customer tools that was more consistent
with a conventional FC device. The driver attaches to the FC
transport to allow host and port names to be published
under /sys/class/fc_host/hostX.

A problem arose when attaching to the FC transport. The scsi_scan
code attempts to call fc_user_scan which has basically become a no-op
due to the virtualized nature of the FC host ( missing rports,
vports, etc ).  At this point you cannot refresh the scsi bus after
mapping or unmapping luns on the SAN without a reboot.

This patch consists of:

1) storvsc elects to use the new lightweight FC host option by enabling it
in fc_function_template facilitating a fuctional scsi_scan.

2) Removes an original workaround dealing with replacing the eh_timed_out
function.  Patch 1 will not set the scsi_transport_template.eh_timed_out
function directly during lightweight fc_attach_transport(). It instead
relies on whatever was indicated as the scsi_host_template timeout handler
during scsi_times_out() scsi_error.c. So the workaround is no longer
necessary.
