[ Upstream commit 91ec84f8eaddbc93d7c62e363d68aeb7b89879c7 ]
atapi_eh_request_sense() currently uses ATAPI DMA if the SATA controller has ATA_FLAG_PIO_DMA (PIO cmds via DMA) set.
However, ATA_FLAG_PIO_DMA is a flag that can be set by a low-level driver on a port at initialization time, before any devices are scanned.
If a controller detects a connected device that only supports PIO, we set the flag ATA_DFLAG_PIO.
Modify atapi_eh_request_sense() to not use ATAPI DMA if the connected device only supports PIO.
