The libata error recovery tries to reset a port a number
of times and if unsuccessful, gives up. The code does not
thaw the port before it exits. If the bad disk i.e. the disk
that could not be reset is removed and a healthy disk is
inserted, the new disk does not register, since the port is
frozen. This patch fixes the same.
