[patch 10/26] libata: always do follow-up SRST if hardresetreturned -EAGAIN

[Greg KH]

2.6.26-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let us 
know.

------------------
From: Tejun Heo <tj@xxxxxxxxxx>

commit 5dbfc9cb59d4ad75199949d7dd8a8c6d7bc518df upstream

As an optimization, follow-up SRST used to be skipped if
classification wasn't requested even when hardreset requested it via
-EAGAIN.  However, some hardresets can't wait for device readiness and
skipping SRST can cause timeout or other failures during revalidation.
Always perform follow-up SRST if hardreset returns -EAGAIN.  This
makes reset paths more predictable and thus less error-prone.

While at it, move hardreset error checking such that it's done right
after hardreset is finished.  This simplifies followup SRST condition
check a bit and makes the reset path easier to modify.
