Low level drivers may behave differently depending on the current
link->lpm_policy.  During ata_eh_set_lpm(), DIPM enable commands are
issued after the successful completion of ap->ops->set_lpm(), which
means that the controller is already in the target state.  This causes
DIPM enable commands to be processed with mismatching controller power
state and link->lpm_policy value.

In ahci, link->lpm_policy is used to ignore certain PHY events if LPM
is enabled; however, as DIPM commands are issued with stale
link->lpm_policy, they sometimes end up triggering these conditions
and get aborted leading to LPM configuration failure.

Fix it by updating link->lpm_policy before issuing DIPM enable
commands.
