[RESEND PATCH] [SCSI] mpt2sas: fix double mutex lock in NON_BLOCKING state

From: Alexey Khoroshilov
Date: Fri Aug 24 2012 - 13:15:10 EST


If state is NON_BLOCKING and mutex_trylock is succeed,
the control flow goes to mutex_lock_interruptible() that is a deadlock.

Found by Linux Driver Verification project (linuxtesting.org).
