ata: libata: read the shared status for successful NCQ commands once



Currently, the status is being read for each QC, inside
ata_qc_complete(), which means that QCs being completed by
ata_qc_complete_multiple() (i.e. multiple QCs completed during a single
interrupt), can have different status and error bits set. This is
because the FIS Receive Area will get updated as soon as the HBA
receives a new FIS from the device in the NCQ case.

Here is an example of the problem:
ata14.00: ata_qc_complete_multiple: done_mask: 0x180000
qc tag: 19 cmd: 0x61 flags: 0x11b err_mask: 0x0 tf->status: 0x40
qc tag: 20 cmd: 0x61 flags: 0x11b err_mask: 0x0 tf->status: 0x43

A print in ata_qc_complete_multiple(), shows that done_mask is: 0x180000
which means that tag 19 and 20 were completed. Another print in
ata_qc_complete(), after the call to fill_result_tf(), shows that tag 19
and 20 have different status values, even though they were completed in
the same ata_qc_complete_multiple() call.

If PMP is not enabled, simply read the status and error once, before
calling ata_qc_complete() for each QC. Without PMP, we know that all QCs
must share the same status and error values.

If PMP is enabled, we also read the status before calling
ata_qc_complete(), however, we still read the status for each QC, since
the QCs can belong to different PMP links (which means that the QCs
does not necessarily share the same status and error values).

Do all this by introducing the new port operation .qc_ncq_fill_rtf. If
set, this operation is called in ata_qc_complete_multiple() to set the
result tf for all completed QCs signaled by the last SDB FIS received.

QCs that have their result tf filled are marked with the new flag
ATA_QCFLAG_RTF_FILLED so that any later execution of the qc_fill_rtf
port operation does nothing (e.g. when called from ata_qc_complete()).
