[PATCH] ata: Fix racy link clearance

From: Takashi Iwai
Date: Wed Nov 14 2018 - 09:40:58 EST


The ap->sff_pio_task_link gets cleared in a racy way in
ata_sff_flush_pio_task(). This may lead to BUG_ON() check in the
work, and screw up the whole system.

Along with it, replace BUG_ON() with WARN_ON() and let the work quit
gracefully. It's no end of the world, after all.
