[patch 42/71] SCSI: mpt2sas: fix infinite loop inside config request

[Greg KH]

2.6.30-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let us know.

------------------
From: Kashyap, Desai <kashyap.desai@xxxxxxx>

commit 6bd4e1e4d6023f4da069fd68729c502cc4e6dfd0 upstream.

This restriction is introduced just to avoid loop of
config_request. Retry must be limited so we have restricted
config request to maximum 2 times.
