libata-link: introduce ata_link
Introduce ata_link. It abstracts PHY and sits between ata_port and
ata_device. This new level of abstraction is necessary to support
SATA Port Multiplier, which basically adds a bunch of links (PHYs) to
a ATA host port. Fields related to command execution, spd_limit and
EH are per-link and thus moved to ata_link.
This patch only defines the host link. Multiple link handling will be
added later. Also, a lot of ap->link derefences are added but many of
them will be removed as each part is converted to deal directly with
ata_link instead of ata_port.
This patch introduces no behavior change.
