libata: kill hotplug related race condition

Originally, whole reset processing was done while the port is frozen
and SError was cleared during @postreset().  This had two race
conditions.  1: hotplug could occur after reset but before SError is
cleared and libata won't know about it.  2: hotplug could occur after
all the reset is complete but before the port is thawed.  As all
events are cleared on thaw, the hotplug event would be lost.

Commit ac371987 kills the first race
by clearing SError during link resume but before link onlineness test.
However, this doesn't fix race #2 and in some cases clearing SError
after SRST is a good idea.

This patch solves this problem by cross checking link onlineness with
classification result after SError is cleared and port is thawed.
Reset is retried if link is online but all devices attached to the
link are unknown.  As all devices will be revalidated, this one-way
check is enough to ensure that all devices are detected and
revalidated reliably.

This, luckily, also fixes the cases where host controller returns
bogus status while harddrive is spinning up after hotplug making
classification run before the device sends the first FIS and thus
causes misdetection.

Low level drivers can bypass the logic by setting class explicitly to
ATA_DEV_NONE if ever necessary (currently none requires this).
