We found that we need to perform lose and find for all devices on the 
port including the local phy and the remote phy. This process still 
requires traversing the phy information corresponding to all devices to 
reset and it is also necessary to consider that there is a race between 
device removal and the current process.  it looks similar to solution of 
update port id directly. And there will be the problem mentioned above. 
e.g, during error handling, the recovery state will last for more than 
15 seconds, affecting the performance of other disks on the same host.
