    aoe: do revalidation steps in order · 25f4d75e

    The discovery process begins with an optional AoE config query command and
    an AoE config query response.  Normally when an aoe device is already
    open, the config query response does not trigger an ATA identify device
    command to be sent out, since the response contains storage capacity
    information that, if changed, could surprise the user of the device.
    
    The userland "aoe-revalidate" tool uses a character device to trigger an
    AoE config query for a particular AoE storage target and an ATA device
    identify command, even when the device is open.
    
    This change causes the config query to go out first, reflecting the normal
    discovery sequence.  The responses could come back in any order, so this
    change is fairly cosmetic.
