[PATCH 4.17 199/336] libata: Fix command retry decision

[Greg Kroah-Hartman]

4.17-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Damien Le Moal <damien.lemoal@xxxxxxx>

[ Upstream commit 804689ad2d9b66d0d3920b48cf05881049d44589 ]

For failed commands with valid sense data (e.g. NCQ commands),
scsi_check_sense() is used in ata_analyze_tf() to determine if the
command can be retried. In such case, rely on this decision and ignore
the command error mask based decision done in ata_worth_retry().

This fixes useless retries of commands such as unaligned writes on zoned
disks (TYPE_ZAC).
