In the branch 'if (intpr & SATA_DWC_INTPR_NEWFP)', we call ata_qc_from_tag()
and access qc->ap->link.active_tag immediately. If ata_qc_from_tag() returns
a null pointer, accessing qc->ap->link.active_tag may crash the system.

This issue is reported by my static analysis tool, so I don't have the
vulnerable input currently.
