Subject: libata: introduce ata_host->n_tags to avoid oops on SAS controllers
From: Tejun Heo <tj@xxxxxxxxxx>
commit 1a112d10f03e83fb3a2fdc4c9165865dec8a3ca6 upstream.
1871ee134b73 ("libata: support the ata host which implements a queue
depth less than 32") directly used ata_port->scsi_host->can_queue from
ata_qc_new() to determine the number of tags supported by the host;
unfortunately, SAS controllers doing SATA don't initialize ->scsi_host
leading to the following oops.

Fix it by introducing ata_host->n_tags which is initialized to
ATA_MAX_QUEUE - 1 in ata_host_init() for SAS controllers and set to
scsi_host_template->can_queue in ata_host_register() for !SAS ones.
As SAS hosts are never registered, this will give them the same
ATA_MAX_QUEUE - 1 as before. Note that we can't use
scsi_host->can_queue directly for SAS hosts anyway as they can go
higher than the libata maximum.
