According to AHCI 1.3.1 specification ch6.1.9, when an R_ERR is received
on an H2D Data FIS in normal operation, the HBA sets PxIS.IFS to 1
(fatal error) and halts operation. Referring to SATA 3.0 specification we
know the device will halt queued command processing and transmit SDB FIS to
host with ERR bit in Status field set to one(set PxIS.TFES to 1).

In our case, the ISR handles fatal errors(PxIS.IFS) and enters error 
recovery after cleaning up PxIS and PxIE. Then a SDB FIS is received 
with interrupt bit(PxIS.TFES) set to 1. According to AHCI 1.3.1 
specification ch6.2.2, HBA can't issue(cmd.ST set to 1) any new commands
under PxIS.TFES alive during error recovery.
