scsi: mpt3sas: Fix deadlock while cancelling the running firmware event
Do not cancel current running firmware event work if the event type is different from MPT3SAS_REMOVE_UNRESPONDING_DEVICES. Otherwise a deadlock can be observed while cancelling the current firmware event work if a hard reset operation is called as part of processing the current event.
