[SCSI] megaraid_{mm,mbox}: init fix for kdump

1.      Changes in Initialization to fix kdump failure.
        Send SYNC command on loading.
        This command clears the pending commands in the adapter
        and re-initialize its internal RAID structure.
        Without this change, megaraid driver either panics or fails to
        initialize the adapter during kdump's second kernel boot
        if there are pending commands or interrupts from other devices
        sharing the same IRQ.
2.      Authors email-id domain name changed from lsil.com to lsi.com.
        Also modified the MODULE_AUTHOR to [email protected]
