It looks like it is missing for ahci_thunderx_irq_handler() but that one
takes the host lock. Same for xgene_ahci_irq_intr(), again no port lock
but host lock taken. And again for ahci_single_level_irq_intr() for the
non MSI case. For modern MSI adapters, the port lock is taken in
For other cases, ahci_multi_irqs_intr_hard) takes the port lock.
So it looks like ahci_port_intr() needs to take the lock and some
cleanups overall (the host lock should not be necessary in the command
path. But nobody seems to have issues with the "bad" cases... Probably
because they are not mainstream adapters.
Definitely some work needed here.
