Subject: [PATCH 7/8] scsi: hisi_sas: fix return value of hisi_sas_task_prep()

From: Xiaofei Tan <tanxiaofei@...wei.com>

It is an implicit regulation that error code that function returned
should be negative. But hisi_sas_task_prep() doesn't follow this.
This may cause problems in the upper layer code.

For example, in sas_expander.c of libsas, smp_execute_task_sg() may
return the number of bytes of underrun. It will be conflicted with
the scenaio lldd_execute_task() return an positive error code.

This patch change the return value from SAS_PHY_DOWN to -ECOMM in
hisi_sas_task_prep().
