libata: correct handling of SRST reset sequences
Correct handling of SRST reset sequences. After an SRST it is undefined whether the drive has gone back to PIO0. In order to talk safely we should talk slowly and carefully until we know. Thus when we do the reset if the controller has a pio setup method we call it to flip back to PIO 0 and a known state. After the reset completes the identify will then be done at the safe speed and the drive/controller will pick suitable faster modes and reconfigure the controller to these timings. As a side effect it means we force the controller to PIO 0 as we bring it up which fixes funnies on a few systems where the BIOS firmware leaves us in an interesting choice of modes, or embedded boxes with no firmware which come up in random states. For smart controllers there is nothing to do - they know about this internally.
