Ok, so if the PCI link is completely offline (pci_channel_offline) then
we just bail out immediately and fail to recover, reporting to the user
as-such. Then a system administrator can setup in and perform the
appropriate reset? Rather than not reporting until the timeout
completes. Essentially, we know that this will never recover at this
point so stop wasting time.

Makes sense.
