[PATCH 2/4] scsi_dh_alua: return BLK_STS_AGAIN for ALUA transitioning state

[Hannes Reinecke <hare@suse.de>]

When the ALUA state indicates transitioning we should not retry
the command immediately, but rather complete the command with
BLK_STS_AGAIN to signal the completion handler that it might
be retried.
This allows multipathing to redirect the command to another path
if possible, and avoid stalls during lengthy transitioning times.
