ata: Remove redundant dev_err()

Since devm_request_irq() automatically logs error messages on failure,
this commit removes the redundant driver-specific dev_err() call from
the probe path.

[Severity: High]
This is a pre-existing issue, but I noticed a potential double free of the
IRQ mapping and a memory leak related to this error path.

If devm_request_irq() fails, the code jumps to the err2 label:

 err2:
	irq_dispose_mapping(task_irq);
	bcom_ata_release(dmatsk);

Does this cause a double free of the IRQ mapping? The bcom_ata_release()
function internally calls bcom_task_free(), which also unconditionally calls
irq_dispose_mapping(tsk->irq) on the same task_irq.

Additionally, can these manual irq_dispose_mapping() calls in the err1 and err2
paths (and similarly in mpc52xx_ata_remove()) cause the irqaction structures
to leak?

Because devm_request_irq() is used, the devres cleanup runs after the probe
function returns. If the IRQ mapping is already manually disposed of here,
irq_dispose_mapping() removes the descriptor. When devres later invokes
free_irq(), it will find a NULL descriptor and return early, skipping the
kfree() for the irqaction structure.
