Some commands need post-processing after successful completion.  This
was done in ata_scsi_qc_complete() till now but this has the following
problems.

* Post-command processing gets executed when qc is completed from EH.
  Some qc's are retried from EH with zero err_mask and thus triggers
  unnecessary/incorrect post-command processing.

* Command post processing doesn't belong to SAT layer.

* Link-wide revalidation was scheduled where device revalidation
  suffices.

This patch moves post-command processing to success completion path of
ata_qc_complete() which is travelled iff the command is going to be
completed without passing through EH and updates post-command
processing such that device-specific action is used.  While at it,
restructure code a bit for readability.

now if only I had a way for the SAT to issue CHECK POWER MODE (used in TEST UNIT READY translation), and inspect qc->err_mask before EH gets its hands on it... :)
