mptfusion: delete watchdogs timers from mptctl and mptscsih

Here is a patch for mpt fusion drivers, which removes the watchdog timers from mptctl/mptscsih. The patch and changelog follows. Pls note, this patch should be applied against a recent patch from Andi Kleen "Add compat_ioctl to mptctl" before applying this patch. Andi's patch was applied against.
