EH is sometimes repeated without any error or action. For example, this happens when probing IDENTIFY fails because of a phantom device. In these cases, all the repeated EH does is making sure there is no unhandled error or pending action and return. This repeation is necessary to avoid losing any event which occurred while EH was in progress. Unfortunately, this dry run causes annonying "EH pending after completion" message. This patch moves the repeat reporting into ata_eh_report() such that it's more compact and skipped on dry runs.
