Hi Nicholas,

This would look like the correct thing to do here, for it eliminates a
small window where we timeout when mpt2sas_config_done had set
MPT2_CMD_COMPLETE and MPT3_CMD_REPLY_VALID, but has not finished copying
the reply data into config_cmds.reply.

It looks like the same patch should be applied to the mpt3sas driver as
well.
