ata_exec_internal will preempt the ata link's active_tag and ata port's qc_active flags, this is OK for error recovery, but if normal code path wants to use ata_exec_internal, there is a problem: we need to check if it is OK to issue a new command with the help of port_ops->defer. In ZPODD, I'll need to find out the loading mechanism of the ODD by issuing a GET_CONFIGURATION command. And this command may very well race with commands issued from SCSI layer. So instead of preempt the current command, defer the new command if it's not OK to issue it, as it is always wrong to issue a non-NCQ command when there is command(s) in processing. So ata_exec_internal is modified to check if it is in eh recovery environment, and if yes, act as before; if not, check if this command should be defered with the help of port_ops->defer.
