scsi_transport_srp: Add transport layer error handling
Add the necessary functions in the SRP transport module to allow an SRP initiator driver to implement transport layer error handling similar to the functionality already provided by the FC transport layer. This includes: - Support for implementing fast_io_fail_tmo, the time that should elapse after having detected a transport layer problem and before failing I/O. - Support for implementing dev_loss_tmo, the time that should elapse after having detected a transport layer problem and before removing a remote port.
