libsas fails to discover all sata devices in the domain.  If a device fails
negotiation and does not transmit a signature fis the link needs recovery.
libata already understands how to manage slow to come up links, so treat these
conditions as ata device attach events for the purposes of creating an
ata_port.  This allows libata to manage retrying link bring up.

Side comment, it strikes me as deadlock prone that we need to do
GFP_KERNEL allocations to recover a domain_device.  Since we're now
enforcing one in-flight smp command per expander, we might as well
pre-allocate the request/response buffers for managing remote phys.

Thanks your work to make life easier. Looks good to me.
