Subject: [PATCH resend 2/5] libata-scsi: fix read-only bits checking in ata_mselect_*()

From: Tom Yan <tom.ty89@...il.com>

Commit 7780081c1f04 ("libata-scsi: Set information sense field for
invalid parameter") changed how ata_mselect_*() make sure read-only
bits are not modified. The new implementation introduced a bug that
the read-only bits in the byte that has a changeable bit will not
be checked.

Added the necessary check, with comments explaining the heuristic.
