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 a non-NULL
pointer. Within the for loop, get the next port info (if it is not NULL)
after initializing the ata port using the previous port info.
