[Patch 1/3] mpt3sas: Fix deadlock while cancelling the running FW event

[Suganath Prabu S <suganath-prabu.subramani@broadcom.com>]

[-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain, Size: 1779 bytes --]

Don't cancel current running Firmware event work if the
FW event type is other than MPT3SAS_REMOVE_UNRESPONDING_DEVICES.
Otherwise user may observe deadlock while cancelling the current
FW event work if hard reset operation is called as part of
processing the current FW event.
