PATCH 1/1 libata: Fix failed assertion in ata_qc_complete()

Hi Jeff,

(This is the patch #4 in the summary.)
Problem:
'assert(qc->flags & ATA_QCFLAG_ACTIVE)' assertion failed in ata_pio_complete().

Root cause:
Please see the detailed dmesg log in the follow-up mail.

Change:
- Reorder the clearing of the 'qc->flags &= ~ATA_QCFLAG_ACTIVE' flag to be _before_ 'qc->complete_fn(qc, drv_stat)' instead of _after_.
- Add a comment per Tejun's advice.

Attached please find the patch against the linux-2.6.git tree (HEAD 9b4311eedb17fa88f02e4876cd6aa9a08e383cd6) for your review. Thanks.

Albert

The following is the log of the problematic transation:

<= scsi error handler has done calling __ata_qc_complete()
to full complete the original command.
It is now trying to get sense data.
The qc is made active again.
So, ATA_QCFLAG_ACTIVE is set again.

<= ata_qc_complete() races with the scsi error handler here.
ata_qc_complete() clears the ATA_QCFLAG_ACTIVE flag here.

<= ata_qc_complete() exits, leaving ATA_QCFLAG_ACTIVE flag cleared.
