libata: more robust reset failure handling
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
Reset failure is a critical error.  It results in disabling the link
requiring user intervention to re-enable it.  Make reset failure
handling more robust such that libata EH doesn't give up too early.

* Temporary glitches during hardreset may lead to classification
  failure when there's no softreset available.  Retry instead of
  giving up.

* Initial softreset or follow up softreset may fail classification.
  Move classification error handling block out of followup softreset
  block such that both cases are handled and retry instead of giving
  up.  Also, on the last try, give ATA class a blind shot.
