The function __ata_qc_complete() is always called with a qc that already has been dereferenced and so is guaranteed to be non-NULL (as otherwise the kernel would have crashed). So remove the warning for a NULL qc as it is useless. Furthermore, the qc passed to __ata_qc_complete() must always be marked as active with the ATA_QCFLAG_ACTIVE flag. If that is not the case, in addition to the existing warning, return early so that we do not attempt to complete an invalid qc. Finally, fix the comment related to clearing the qc active flag as that operation applies to all devices, not just ATAPI ones.
