ata: acpi: rework the ata acpi bind support

Binding ACPI handle to SCSI device has several drawbacks, namely:
1 During ATA device initialization time, ACPI handle will be needed
  while SCSI devices are not created yet. So each time ACPI handle is
  needed, instead of retrieving the handle by ACPI_HANDLE macro,
  a namespace scan is performed to find the handle for the corresponding
  ATA device. This is inefficient, and also expose a restriction on
  calling path not holding any lock.
2 The binding to SCSI device tree makes code complex, while at the same
  time doesn't bring us any benefit. All ACPI handlings are still done
  in ATA module, not in SCSI.

Rework the ATA ACPI binding code to bind ACPI handle to ATA transport
devices(ATA port and ATA device). The binding needs to be done only once,
since the ATA transport devices do not go away with hotplug. And due to
this, the flush_work call in hotplug handler for ATA bay is no longer
needed.

Tested on an Intel test platform for binding and runtime power off for
ODD(ZPODD) and hard disk; on an ASUS S400C for binding and normal boot
and S3, where its SATA port node has _SDD and _GTF control methods when
configured as an AHCI controller and its PATA device node has _GTF
control method when configured as an IDE controller. SATA PMP binding
and ATA hotplug is not tested.
