I'm now not so sure about this one.  This was implemented before the
change to asynchronously scan ata devices where serial discover could
take inordinate amounts of time.

Jack already reported a scan time reduction of 3 minutes down to 5
seconds with the async code, so I'll drop this patch.

Even if recovery was taking a long time this patch would only move the
hung task timeout backtrace to another location in the kernel that was
dependent on the completion of error handling.
