Subject: [PATCH] ata: libata-core: Fix null pointer dereference on error

If the ata_port_alloc() call in ata_host_alloc() fails,
ata_host_release() will get called.

However, the code in ata_host_release() tries to free ata_port struct
members unconditionally, which can lead to the following:

Do not access ata_port struct members unconditionally.
