  ata: libata-scsi: do not needlessly defer commands when using PMP with FBS (2026-05-18 12:26:51 +0200)

----------------------------------------------------------------
ata fixes for 7.1-rc5

 - Make sure that the issuing of a deferred non-NCQ command via
   workqueue feature is only used when mixing NCQ and non-NCQ commands
   to the same link (i.e. return value ATA_DEFER_LINK), and nothing
   else. This way we will not incorrectly try to use the feature for
   e.g. PATA drivers.

 - The deferred non-NCQ command was stored in a per-port struct.
   When using Port Multipliers with FIS-Based Switching, we would thus
   needlessly defer commands to all other links. Store the deferred QC
   in a per-link struct, such that Port Multipliers with FBS will get
   the same performance as before.

 - The issuing of a deferred non-NCQ command via workqueue feature
   broke support for Port Multipliers using Command-Based Switching.
   The issuing of a deferred non-NCQ command via workqueue feature is
   not compatible with the use of ap->excl_link, which PMPs with CBS
   use for fairness (using implicit round robin).
