Subject: [PATCH v2] ata: fix a race condition when internal cmd time out

For internal cmds, we will unmap DMA memory associated with the cmd
before we abort the cmd. If DMA transferring data before the aborting,
bus error will occur.

ata_exec_internal_sg
  ->ata_port_freeze if timeout
    ->ata_qc_complete
      ->ata_sg_clean
                                      dma transferring data = bus error
  ->ap->ops->post_internal_cmd
    ->sas_ata_post_internal
      ->sas_ata_internal_abort
        ->abort the cmd

Fix this by moving post_internal_cmd() before unmapping the DMA memory
when time out. Notice that we have to set ATA_QCFLAG_FAILED flag before
calling post_internal_cmd() so that the aborting will work.
