This duplicates the device information and breaks integrity of
libata logging functionality (ata_{dev,link,port}_printk() should
be all converted to use dev_printk() at the same time).

The root source of problem is that libata transport uses different
naming scheme for ->tdev devices (please see dev_set_name() in
ata_t{dev,link,port}_add()) than libata core for its logging
functionality (ata_{dev,link,port}_printk()).

Since libata transport is part of sysfs ABI we should be careful
to not break it so one idea for solving the issue is to convert
ata_t{dev,link,port}_add() to use libata logging naming scheme and
at the same time add sysfs symlinks for the old libata transport
naming scheme.

dev->sdev usage is not required for dev_printk() conversion and
should be considered as a separate change (since it also breaks
integrity of libata logging and can be considered as a mild
"layering violation" I don't think that it should be applied).
