Avoid static checkers warnings about a potential NULL pointer
dereference for the port info variable pi. To do so, test that at least
one port info is available on entry to ata_host_alloc_pinfo() and start
the ata port initialization for() loop with pi initialized to the first
port info passed as argument (which is already checked to be non NULL).
Within the for() loop, get the next port info, if it is not NULL,
after initializing the ata port using the previous port info.
