libata: put some intelligence into EH speed down sequence

The current EH speed down code is more of a proof that the EH
framework is capable of adjusting transfer speed in response to error.
This patch puts some intelligence into EH speed down sequence.  The
rules are..

* If there have been more than three timeout, HSM violation or
  unclassified DEV errors for known supported commands during last 10
  mins, NCQ is turned off.

* If there have been more than three timeout or HSM violation for known
  supported command, transfer mode is slowed down.  If DMA is active,
  it is first slowered by one grade (e.g. UDMA133->100).  If that
  doesn't help, it's slowered to 40c limit (UDMA33).  If PIO is
  active, it's slowered by one grade first.  If that doesn't help,
  PIO0 is forced.  Note that this rule does not change transfer mode.
  DMA is never degraded into PIO by this rule.

* If there have been more than ten ATA bus, timeout, HSM violation or
  unclassified device errors for known supported commands && speeding
  down DMA mode didn't help, the device is forced into PIO mode.  Note
  that this rule is considered only for PATA devices and is pretty
  difficult to trigger.

One error can only trigger one rule at a time.  After a rule is
triggered, error history is cleared such that the next speed down
happens only after some number of errors are accumulated.  This makes
sense because now speed down is done in bigger stride.
