2.6.28-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let us know.

------------------

From: Tejun Heo <tj@kernel.org>

commit d89293abd95bfd7dd9229087d6c30c1464c5ac83 upstream.

The dev->pio_mode > XFER_PIO_0 test is there to avoid unnecessary
speed down warning messages but it accidentally disabled SATA link spd
down during configuration phase after reset where PIO mode is always
zero.

This patch fixes the problem by moving the test where it belongs.
This makes libata probing sequence behave better when the connection
is flaky at higher link speeds which isn't too uncommon for eSATA
devices.
