commit 6f54120e17e311fd7ac42b9ec2a0611caa5b46ad upstream.

We've got a kernel panic when using sata disk with sas controller:

We found that Ding Xiang has reported a similar bug before:
https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/9179817/

And this bug still exists in mainline. Since libsas handles hotplug and
device adding/removing itself, do not need to schedule ata hot plug task
here if it is a sas host.
