[PATCH] ata: ahci: fix race between EH and ahci interrupt

[Jason Yan]

There is a race condition between EH and ahci interrupt when the EH is
interrupted after the ata port is thaw by the ahci interrupt. In the
ahci interrupt callback the port will be frozen again but the EH thread
will not be scheduled because it is already running.

[interrupt]                             [scsi_eh]
ahci_error_intr                         scsi_error_handler
  =>ata_port_freeze
  =>ahci_freeze (turn IRQ off)
  =>ata_port_abort
    =>ata_port_schedule_eh
      =>host_eh_scheduled++;
	host_eh_scheduled = 1
    =>scsi_eh_wakeup
					 =>ata_scsi_error
					 =>ata_eh_thaw_port
					   =>ahci_thaw (turn IRQ on)
ahci_error_intr
  =>ata_port_freeze
  =>ahci_freeze (turn IRQ off)
  =>ata_port_abort
    =>ata_port_schedule_eh
      =>host_eh_scheduled++;
	host_eh_scheduled = 2
      =>EH already running
					 =>ata_std_end_eh
					   =>host_eh_scheduled = 0;
					 =>EH over, IRQ remain off

The host_eh_scheduled is 0 and scsi EH thread will not be scheduled again,
and the ata port remain freeze and will never be enabled. If EH thread is
already running, no need to freeze port and schedule EH again.
