Commit 7b3a24c57d2eeda8dba9c205342b12689c4679f9 ("ahci: don't enable
port irq before handler is registered") caused a regression for CD-ROMs
attached to the IPR SATA bus on Power machines:

  ata_port_alloc: ENTER
  ata_port_probe: ata1: bus probe begin
  ata1.00: ata_dev_read_id: ENTER
  ata1.00: failed to IDENTIFY (I/O error, err_mask=0x40)
  ata1.00: ata_dev_read_id: ENTER
  ata1.00: failed to IDENTIFY (I/O error, err_mask=0x40)
  ata1.00: limiting speed to UDMA7:PIO5
  ata1.00: ata_dev_read_id: ENTER
  ata1.00: failed to IDENTIFY (I/O error, err_mask=0x40)
  ata1.00: disabled
  ata_port_probe: ata1: bus probe end
  scsi_alloc_sdev: Allocation failure during SCSI scanning, some SCSI devices might not be configured

The FROZEN flag added in that commit is only cleared by the new EH code,
which is not used by ipr. Clear this flag in the SAS code if we don't
support new EH.
