[libata] locking rewrite (== fix)
A lot of power packed into a little patch.
This change eliminates the sharing between our controller-wide spinlock
and the SCSI core's Scsi_Host lock. As the locking in libata was
already highly compartmentalized, always referencing our own lock, and
never scsi_host::host_lock.
As a side effect, this change eliminates a deadlock from calling
scsi_finish_command() while inside our spinlock.
