[libata] scsi: no poll when ODD is powered off
When the ODD is powered off, any action the user did to the ODD that would generate a media event will trigger an ACPI interrupt, so the poll for media event is no longer necessary. And the poll will also cause a runtime status change, which will stop the ODD from staying in powered off state, so the poll should better be stopped. But since we don't have access to the gendisk structure in LLDs, here comes the disk_events_disable_depth for scsi device. This field is a hint set by LLDs to convey information to upper layer drivers. A value of 0 means media poll is necessary for the device, while values above 0 means media poll is not needed and should better be skipped. So we can increase its value when we are to power off the ODD in ATA layer and decrease its value when the ODD is powered on, effectively silence the media events poll.
