If there is a race between scsi_done() and scsi_timeout() and if
scsi_timeout() loses the race, scsi_timeout() should not reset the
request timer. Hence change the return value for this case from
BLK_EH_RESET_TIMER into BLK_EH_DONE.

Although the block layer holds a reference on a request (req->ref) while
calling a timeout handler, restarting the timer (blk_add_timer()) while
a request is being completed is racy.
