Subject: [PATCH net 08/16] ionic: Correctly print AQ errors if completions aren't received

From: Brett Creeley <brett@...sando.io>

Recent changes went into the driver to allow flexibility when
printing error messages. Unfortunately this had the unexpected
consequence of printing confusing messages like the following:

IONIC_CMD_RX_FILTER_ADD (31) failed: IONIC_RC_SUCCESS (-6)

In cases like this the completion of the admin queue command never
completes, so the completion status is 0, hence IONIC_RC_SUCCESS
is printed even though the command clearly failed. For example,
this could happen when the driver tries to add a filter and at
the same time the FW goes through a reset, so the AQ command
never completes.

Fix this by forcing the FW completion status to IONIC_RC_ERROR
in cases where we never get the completion.

Fixes: 8c9d956ab6fb ("ionic: allow adminq requests to override default error message")
