libata: make sure port is thawed when skipping resets
When SCR access is available and the link is offline, softreset is skipped as it only wastes time and some controllers don't respond very well. However, the skip path forgot to thaw the port, which not only blocks further event notification from the port but also causes repeated EH invocations on the same event on drivers which rely on ->thaw() to clear events if the IRQ is shared with another device or port. This problem has always been there but is uncovered by recent sata_nv nf2/3 change which dropped hardreset support while maintaining SCR access. nf2/3 doesn't clear hotplug event mask from the interrupt handler but relies on ->thaw() to clear them. When the hardreset was there, the reset action was never skipped and the port was always thawed but, with the hardreset gone, ->prereset() determines that there's no need for softreset and both ->softreset() and ->thaw() are skipped. This leads to stuck hotplug event in the IRQ status register triggering hotplug event whenever IRQ is delieverd on the same IRQ. As the controller shares the same IRQ for both ports, this happens on every IO if one port is occpupied and the other isn't. This patch fixes the problem by making sure that the port is thawed on reset-skip path. bko#11615 reports this problem.
