Save and restore the scmd->result, so that timed out commands do not return the result of the TEST UNIT READY or the start/stop commands. Code is already in place to save and restore the result for the request sense case. The previous version of this patch erroneously removed the "if" check, instead add a comment as to why the "if" is needed.
