The function ata_port_request_pm() checks the port flag
ATA_PFLAG_PM_PENDING and calls ata_port_wait_eh() if this flag is set to
ensure that power management operations for a port are not scheduled
simultaneously. However, this flag check is done without holding the
port lock.

Fix this by taking the port lock on entry to the function and checking
the flag under this lock. The lock is released and re-taken if
ata_port_wait_eh() needs to be called. The two WARN_ON() macros checking
that the ATA_PFLAG_PM_PENDING flag was cleared are removed as the first
call is racy and the second one done without holding the port lock.
