Support config RX WATER MARK via sysfs when running at run-time;
A wrokaround for fix the exception happened to some WD HDD, found on
WD3000HLFS-01G6U1, WD3000HLFS-01G6U0, some SSD disks. The read performance
is also regression (about 30%) when use default value.
According to the latest documents, 0x10 is the default value of RX WATER MARK,
but exception/performance issue happened to some disks mentioned above.
The exception log as below when testing read performance with IOZone:
ata1.00: exception Emask 0x0 SAct 0x7 SErr 0x800000 action 0x6 frozen

The exception/performance can be resolved when RX WATER MARK value is 0x16.

applied, though it seems advisable to simply set 0x16 than all this mess
