libata: improve SCSI scan failure handling
SCSI scan may fail due to memory allocation failure even if EH is not
in progress. Due to use of GFP_ATOMIC in SCSI scan path, allocation
failure isn't too rare especially while probing multiple devices at
once which is the case when a bunch of devices are connected to PMP.
This patch moves SCSI scan failure detetion logic from
ata_scsi_hotplug() to ata_scsi_scan_host() and implement synchronous
scan behavior. The synchronous path sleeps briefly and repeats SCSI
scan if some devices aren't attached properly. It contains robust
retry loop to minimize the chance of device misdetection during boot
and falls back to async retry if everything fails.
