This patch fixes an issue with multipath ipr SAS devices which require a start unit command to be issued following an adapter reset. Without this patch, paths get marked failed following an adapter reset and since the error handler never gets invoked to issue the start unit, the paths are never recovered. Returning FAILED for this case ensures the error handler wakes up to issue the start unit.
