[PATCH] libata: implement ata_scsi_timed_out()

Implement ata_scsi_timed_out(), to be used as
scsi_host_template->eh_timed_out callback for all libata drivers.
Without this function, the following race exists.

If a qc completes after SCSI timer expires but before libata EH kicks
in, the qc gets completed but the scsicmd still gets passed to libata
EH resulting in ->eng_timeout invocation with NULL qc, which none is
handling properly.

This patch makes sure that scmd and qc share the same lifetime.
Original idea from Jeff Garzik <jgarzik@pobox.com>.
