[SCSI] aacraid: Fix down_interruptible() to check the return value

Instead of ignoring the return value in aac_fib_send() return 2 to
indicate to the layers above that fib transmission was aborted due to
timeout.

The return value for down_interruptible was incorrectly checked! updated patch enclosed.

This attached patch is against current scsi-misc-2.6 (minus original down_interruptible patch).
