When tracing ata link error event, the kernel crashes when the disk is removed due to NULL pointer access by trace_ata_eh_link_autopsy API. This occurs as the dev is NULL when the disk disappeared. Given that the trace routine requires only the link info, pass the link info instead of passing dev pointer to fix this kernel crash.
