cciss: Fix hard reset code.
Smart Array controllers newer than the P600 do not honor the
PCI power state method of resetting the controllers.  Instead,
in these cases we can get them to reset via the "doorbell" register.

This escaped notice until we began using "performant" mode because
the fact that the controllers did not reset did not normally
impede subsequent operation, and so things generally appeared to
"work".  Once the performant mode code was added, if the controller
does not reset, it remains in performant mode.  The code immediately
after the reset presumes the controller is in "simple" mode
(which previously, it had remained in simple mode the whole time).
If the controller remains in performant mode any code which presumes
it is in simple mode will not work.  So the reset needs to be fixed.

Unfortunately there are some controllers which cannot be reset by
either method. (eg. p800).  We detect these cases by noticing that
the controller seems to remain in performant mode even after a
reset has been attempted.  In those cases we ignore the controller,
as any commands outstanding on it will result in stale completions.
To sum up, we try to do a better job of resetting the controller if
"reset_devices" is set, and if it doesn't work, we ignore that
controller.
