[PATCH] libata: implement new SCR handling and port on/offline functions

Implement ata_scr_{valid|read|write|write_flush}() and
ata_port_{online|offline}().  These functions replace
scr_{read|write}() and sata_dev_present().

Major difference between between the new SCR functions and the old
ones is that the new ones have a way to signal error to the caller.
This makes handling SCR-available and SCR-unavailable cases in the
same path easier.  Also, it eases later PM implementation where SCR
access can fail due to various reasons.

ata_port_{online|offline}() functions return 1 only when they are
affirmitive of the condition.  e.g.  if SCR is unaccessible or
presence cannot be determined for other reasons, these functions
return 0.  So, ata_port_online() != !ata_port_offline().  This
distinction is useful in many exception handling cases.
