cciss: Ignore stale commands after reboot 

When doing an unexpected shutdown like kexec the cciss
firmware might still have some commands in flight, which
it is trying to complete.
The driver is doing it's best on resetting the HBA,
but sadly there's a firmware issue causing the firmware
_not_ to abort or drop old commands.
So the firmware will send us commands which we haven't
accounted for, causing the driver to panic.

With this patch we're just ignoring these commands as
there is nothing we could be doing with them anyway.
