libata: prevent HSM state change race between ISR and PIO
It is possible for ata_sff_flush_pio_task() to set ap->hsm_task_state to
HSM_ST_IDLE in between the time __ata_sff_port_intr() checks for HSM_ST_IDLE
and before it calls ata_sff_hsm_move() causing ata_sff_hsm_move() to BUG().
This problem is hard to reproduce making this patch hard to verify, but this
fix will prevent the race.
I have not been able to reproduce the problem, but here is a crash dump from
a 2.6.32 kernel.
On examining the ata port's state, its hsm_task_state field has a value of HSM_ST_IDLE:
crash> struct ata_port.hsm_task_state
ffff881c1121c000
hsm_task_state = 0
Normally, this should not be possible as ata_sff_hsm_move() was called from ata_sff_host_intr(),
which checks hsm_task_state and won't call ata_sff_hsm_move() if it has a HSM_ST_IDLE value.

Before it tried to acquire a spinlock, ata_exec_internal_sg() called ata_sff_flush_pio_task().
This function will set ap->hsm_task_state to HSM_ST_IDLE, and has no locking around setting this
value. ata_sff_flush_pio_task() can then race with the interrupt handler and potentially set
HSM_ST_IDLE at a fatal moment, which will trigger a kernel BUG.
v2: Fixup comment in ata_sff_flush_pio_task()
tj: Further updated comment. Use ap->lock instead of shost lock and
use the [un]lock_irq variant instead of the irqsave/restore one.
