You are right that it isn't designed for this use case and my approach
is somewhat hackish. Still, it really does exactly what we want. Please
note that ap->park_req_pending is protected by the host lock; the call
to complete() is atomic wrt the setting of ATA_EH_PARK for one of the
devices on the port and so is the call to INIT_COMPLETION() wrt clearing
ATA_EH_PARK requests for *all* devices on the port.

Well, we don't really care about the done count after
wait_for_completion_timeout() has returned. All that matters is that the
done counter is cleared when all ATA_EH_PARK actions have been pulled in
which happens at the start of each cycle over the loop.
Perhaps I should add comments to this effect before
wait_for_completion_timeout() as well as INIT_COMPLETION()?
