The dev->pio_mode > XFER_PIO_0 test is there to avoid unnecessary speed down warning messages but it accidentally disabled SATA link spd down during configuration phase after reset where PIO mode is always zero. This patch fixes the problem by moving the test where it belongs. This makes libata probing sequence behave better when the connection is flaky at higher link speeds which isn't too uncommon for eSATA devices.
