Subject: [03/70] [SCSI] mptfusion: Fix Incorrect return value in mptscsih_dev_reset

2.6.37-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let us know.

------------------

From: Kashyap, Desai <kashyap.desai@....com>

commit bcfe42e98047f1935c5571c8ea77beb2d43ec19d upstream.

There's a branch at the end of this function that
is supposed to normalize the return value with what
the mid-layer expects. In this one case, we get it wrong.

Also increase the verbosity of the INFO level printk
at the end of mptscsih_abort to include the actual return value
and the scmd->serial_number. The reason being success
or failure is actually determined by the state of
the internal tag list when a TMF is issued, and not the
return value of the TMF cmd. The serial_number is also
used in this decision, thus it's useful to know for debugging
purposes.
