Yes, it's not correct: stall_for is in jiffies not msec, so
msleep(stall_for) is taking far too long. Plus you don't know that
stall_for is a divisor of timeleft, so timeleft -= stall_for could wrap
and cause the retry loop to go on effectively forever.
I think the below is the correct patch, so I'll commit it unless there
are objections.

Subject: [PATCH] [SCSI] Handle MLQUEUE busy response in scsi_send_eh_cmnd
scsi_send_eh_cmnd() is calling queuecommand() directly, so
it needs to check the return value here.
The only valid return codes for queuecommand() are 'busy'
states, so we need to wait for a bit to allow the LLDD
to recover.
Based on an earlier patch from Wen Xiong.
