This patch fixes the followings regarding sht usage in libata drivers.

  There's no reason to set it to any value.

* Many LLDs are missing sht->slave_destroy.  The method is mandatory
  to support device warm unplugging (echo 1 > /sys/.../delete).
  Without it, libata might access released scsi device.

Another candidate for #upstream-fixes.

if you want stuff in #upstream-fixes, you have to cut the patch down to its bare minimum. the max_sectors change in this case is a cleanup.

I ACK the patch, but ask: would you prefer to split the patch, or just this into #upstream?
