[ofa-general] [RFC 2.6.24-rc] IB/srp: retry stale connections

When a host just goes away (crash, power loss, etc.) without tearing
down its IB connections, it can get stale connection errors when it
tries to reconnect the targets upon rebooting. Retrying the connection a
few times will prevent sysadmins from playing the "which disk(s) went
missing?" game.

This would have made things slightly quicker when tracking down some of
the recent bugs, but it also helps quite a bit when you've got a large
number of targets hanging off a wedged server.

This applies on top of the logging patches for ib_srp.
