Subject: [PATCH v2] ata: libata-scsi: Fix CDL control

Delete extra checks for the ATA_DFLAG_CDL_ENABLED flag that prevent
SET FEATURES command from being issued to a drive when NCQ commands
are active.

ata_mselect_control_ata_feature() sets / clears the ATA_DFLAG_CDL_ENABLED
flag during the translation of MODE SELECT to SET FEATURES. If SET FEATURES
gets deferred due to outstanding NCQ commands, the original MODE SELECT
command will be re-queued. When the re-queued MODE SELECT goes through
the ata_mselect_control_ata_feature() translation again, SET FEATURES
will not be issued because ATA_DFLAG_CDL_ENABLED has been already set or
cleared by the initial translation of MODE SELECT.

The ATA_DFLAG_CDL_ENABLED checks in ata_mselect_control_ata_feature()
are safe to remove because scsi_cdl_enable() implements a similar logic
that avoids enabling CDL if it has been enabled already.

Changes from v1:
- Changed the patch from revert to fixup.
- Restored debug logs and the comment about mutual exclusivity with
  NCQ priority.
- Dropped cc to stable and added fixes tag instead.
