Add an extra locking for parallel scanning.

This is similar change as commit 60c3be3 for ata_piix host driver

   Linus asks to also specify the commit summary in parens.

and while pata_oldpiix doesn't enable parallel scan yet the race
could probably also be triggered by requesting re-scanning of both
ports at the same time using SCSI sysfs interface.

Fix documentation while at it.

   I'd say "controller", since there's only one. :-)
