While it is true that libsas itself handles adding / removing devices
we have historically avoided this conflict because
ATA_PFLAG_SCSI_HOTPLUG is never set for libsas ata_ports.  So the bug
/ behavior change is that  ATA_PFLAG_SCSI_HOTPLUG gets set in the
first place.  Ignoring it is a band-aid / not the real fix afaics.
