Subject: [PATCH] scsi: aic94xx: Fix fall-through warning for Clang

In preparation to enable -Wimplicit-fallthrough for Clang, fix a
warning by explicitly adding a fallthrough; statement.

Notice that this seems to be a Duff device for performance[1]. So,
although the code looks a bit _funny_, I didn't want to refactor
or modify it beyond merely adding a fallthrough marking, which
might be the least disruptive way to fix this issue.

JFYI: We had thousands of these sorts of warnings and now we are down
      to just 7 in linux-next(20210630). This is one of those last
      remaining warnings. :)
