[PATCH] libata: clear sdev->locked on door lock failure
SCSI EH locks door if sdev->locked is set. Sometimes door lock command fails continuously (e.g. when medium is not present) and as libata uses EH to acquire sense data, this easily creates a loop where a failed lock door invokes EH and EH issues lock door on completion. This patch clears sdev->locked on door lock failure to break this loop. This problem has been spotted and diagnosed by Unicorn Chang <uchang@tw.ibm.com>.
