Subject: drivers:scsi:storvsc: Fix a bug in handling ring buffer failures that may result in I/O freeze

When ring buffer returns an error indicating retry, storvsc may not return a proper error code to SCSI when bounce buffer is not used. This has introduced I/O freeze on RAID running atop storvsc devices. This patch fixes it by always returning a proper error code.
