    ata: libata: clarify when ata_eh_request_sense() will be called · 461ec040

    ata_eh_request_sense() returns early when flag ATA_QCFLAG_SENSE_VALID is
    set. However, since the call to ata_eh_request_sense() is guarded by a
    ATA_SENSE bit conditional, the logical conclusion for the reader is that
    all checks are performed at the call site.
    
    Highlight the fact that the sense data will not be fetched if flag
    ATA_QCFLAG_SENSE_VALID is already set by adding an additional check to
    the existing guarding conditional. No functional change.
    
    Additionally, add a comment explaining that ata_eh_analyze_tf() will
    only fetch the sense data if:
    -It was a non-NCQ command that failed, or
    -It was a NCQ command that failed, but the sense data was not included
     in the NCQ command error log (i.e. NCQ autosense is not supported).
