[PATCH 2/3] libata-dev: fix the device err check sequence (respin)

[Albert Lee <albertcc@tw.ibm.com>]

Current irq-pio checks ERR bit and stops on ERR before it does anything else.
This behavior doesn't look right.
The DRQ bit should take higher precedence than the ERR bit.

Changes:
- Let the HSM do the data transfer whenever the
  device asks for DRQ bit, even if the ERR bit is set.
- For DRQ=1 ERR=1, don't trust the data

Revised per previous comments of Jeff and Eric.

The device error check in the entrance is removed.
Given the data returned on ERR=1 DRQ=1 might be corrupted or partial,
the device err check is added after DRQ check and before the data transfer.
AC_ERR_DEV is set to err_mask and tell the upper layer that the data
does not look good.
