-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let us know.
---------------------
From: Tejun Heo <[email protected]>
Inhibiting link PM mode doesn't bring the link back online if it's
already in powersave mode. If SRST is used in these cases, libata EH
thinks that the link is offline and fails detection. Force hardreset
if link is in powersave mode.

This isn't upstream. Maybe there's some reason it's not needed upstream,
but it would be nice to know.

To quote Tejun when he sent this patch:
---
Patch for -stable only. Devel branch now uses hardreset by
default so this type of promotion logic isn't necessary anymore.
thanks,

We do hard reset by default...
